Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6 Tbsp frozen unsalted butter , shredded
  • 1 cup buttermilk , cold
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese , shredded,
  • 1 Tablespoon of fresh rosemary leaves , minced
  • 1/4 cup of dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cheese, rosemary, cranberries and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
  4. Take the shredded cold butter and add it into the flour mixture. Use a from to mix them together. Have a look at this easy flakey pie dough recipe.
  5. Add the buttermilk and using a fork, swirl it around until a dough forms.
  6. Take the dough onto a floured surface and pat it down with your hands into a rectangle about 4 inches by 6 inches roughly.
  7. Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture on the surface and fold over the dough into thirds (like a business letter).
  8. Turn the dough 90 degrees and pat down the same way.
  9. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese mixture and fold again like a business letter.
  10. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about ½” thick and cut into squares or use a round cookie cutter to cut circles.
  11. Cut each square on a diagonal making a triangle if desired.
  12. Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375F and continue baking for another 4 minutes (depending on the size of your biscuits).
  13. They are done when they are puffed and slightly golden on the bottom.
  14. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Recipe Notes

 

  • Instead of mixing the butter and flour mixture by hand, you can use a food processor and pulse them together for a few seconds.
  • This fluffy buttermilk biscuit recipe is really a perfect base recipe to which you can add any seasoning, cheese, dried fruit and nut you wish.
  • Make sure all your ingredients are ice cold. Yes, that includes your add-ins like cheese, pesto or whatever you want to add to your homemade buttermilk biscuits.
  • Wet or very juicy fruits are not a great add-in, as they will prevent your homemade biscuits from rising.
  • For extreme flakey-ness, make sure the biscuits are COLD and your oven is HOT at the time of baking. If you feel the oven is not ready, place the biscuits in the fridge until the dough is cold again and your oven is nice and hot.
