Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Corned beef (chopped)
- 1 cup Swiss cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Sauerkraut (drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water
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, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing until evenly distributed.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in half and pat it out again. Repeat this process two more times to create flaky layers.
Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible. Re-roll the scraps and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
