Time 35m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper, plus more for biscuit tops
1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more, softened, for serving
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup pure cane sorghum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a food processor, and pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles cornmeal, 4 or 5 times. Add buttermilk, and pulse until the mixture just barely comes together.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured surface, and gently pat into a rectangle about 1 1/4 inches thick (do not overwork dough). Cut out 8 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently press scraps together, cut out 2 more rounds, and place on baking sheet. Brush tops with heavy cream, and generously sprinkle tops with pepper.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus additional melted butter, for brushing
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a bit more for rolling
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 cup buttermilk (see Cook's Note)
Spiced Honey Butter, recipe follows
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the butter into small dice and freeze until ready to use. Combine the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, pepper and salt in a bowl. Add the frozen butter and blend in using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pieces no larger than green peas. Add all of the buttermilk at once and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (The mixture will look a little dry and uneven.) Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes to make a smooth dough; add flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
  • With well-floured hands and working on a well-floured surface, press the dough into a flat sheet, about 1 inch thick. Fold lengthwise into thirds (as you would fold a letter). Repeat this process 2 more times.
  • After folding the dough the third time, roll the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick sheet using a rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 3-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and reroll until all the dough is used. (Cut biscuits can be refrigerated overnight.)
  • Bake until golden and risen, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with Spiced Honey Butter.
  • Combine the butter, honey, salt, garlic and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Transfer to ramekins, then chill to firm slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Spiced Honey Butter keeps, tightly wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 weeks.

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
1 cup buttermilk

  • Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • For the gravy: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
  • Add the butter and flour to the skillet and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Pour in the milk, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened, stirring and scraping the bottom of skillet constantly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
