Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cup whole milk (very cold)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh sage.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to break the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold whole milk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times and pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps to make additional biscuits, if needed.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or alongside your favorite meal.
