Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Pecans (chopped)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the milk until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a couple of times. Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling scraps as needed. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the biscuits are cooling, prepare the praline glaze by combining the brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
Spoon the warm praline glaze over each biscuit, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your praline biscuits warm or at room temperature!
