Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.75 cup buttermilk (cold)
- 1 unit egg (beaten, optional for brushing)
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, and salt until well combined.
Using a box grater, grate the cold butter directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients, or cut the butter into small cubes. Work the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded Gruyère cheese, chopped chives, and parsley. Mix gently to evenly distribute the cheese and herbs.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself in thirds (like folding a letter), then pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create flaky layers.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit. Re-roll the scraps to cut more biscuits as needed.
Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm!
