Yield Makes 8 to 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for serving
1 large hard-cooked egg yolk, finely grated
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, plus more for brushing
Pepper jelly, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or rub in with your fingers) until pea-size crumbs form. Cut in yolk. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead twice. Pat dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits, and transfer to a nonstick baking sheet. Repat dough scraps, and repeat once.
  • Lightly brush biscuit tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve hot with butter and pepper jelly on the side.

These biscuits were a little too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more milk next time.

I'm not a huge fan of buttermilk biscuits, but these were actually really good. They were light and fluffy, with a nice crispy crust.

The biscuits didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These biscuits were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try adding a little more butter next time.

I was a little skeptical about making biscuits without butter, but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were. They were just as good as traditional biscuits, but with a lighter texture.

These biscuits were a breeze to make, and they turned out perfectly. I love that I didn't have to wait for the dough to rise, so I could enjoy them right away.
