Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 unit egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold diced butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
Fold in the crumbled goat cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 5-6 times, just until it holds together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gather the remaining scraps, reshape, and cut until all the dough is used.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy them on their own or with a spread of butter or honey.
