Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup creme fraiche
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and Cajun seasoning until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche and whole milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times to bring it together fully. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle and use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps and cut additional biscuits as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle the tops with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a side dish to your favorite Cajun Creole meal or as a standalone treat with butter!
