Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1/2 cup chilled whole milk
1 large egg
2cups unbleached all purpose flour
1tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add thyme and cracked black pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer thyme mixture to small bowl. Whisk in milk, then egg. Cover and chill until mixture is cold.
  • Blend flour, baking powder and salt in processor. Add 3/4 cup butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk mixture. Using on/off turns, process until moist clumps begin to form. Transfer dough to floured work surface. Knead until dough holds together, about 6 turns. Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 2-inch-diameter biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Reroll dough scraps and cut out additional biscuits, making 16 biscuits total. Transfer biscuits to large baking sheet.
  • Bake biscuits until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Serve biscuits warm. (Biscuits can be prepared ahead. Cool. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature 8 hours or freeze up to 2 weeks. Rewarm biscuits in 350°F oven just until heated through, about 8 minutes.)

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pepper, but I still really enjoyed these biscuits. They're very flavorful and have a great texture.

These biscuits are the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch. They're flaky, buttery, and have just the right amount of cracked pepper.
