Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.5 cup salami (diced into small pieces)
- 0.25 cup scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
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, and kosher salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the diced salami and sliced scallions, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the whole milk. Gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, and pat it out again. Repeat this process 2 more times to create flaky layers.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash to give them a golden finish.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm!
