Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups kalamata olives (chopped)
- 0.25 cups sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 0.25 cups feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, rosemary, and thyme, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Gently mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut as needed.
If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with milk to achieve a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
