Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the chopped dill and crumbled feta cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually add the cold buttermilk, stirring just until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring everything together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
If desired, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash and brush it lightly over the tops of the biscuits for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
