Sage Biscuits image

These light and flaky biscuits have just a hint of sage flavor (which can be overpowering if over-used) but none of the baking powder taste that you sometimes get with biscuits. I find they go especially nicely with roasted meats.

Time 22m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup cold milk
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
  • Whisk together milk and egg until blended in a small bowl; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, salt, sage, and the two peppers with a fork.
  • Add butter pieces and massage into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Add the milk mixture and blend in (with hands) until you can gather the whole into a ball, but don't overmix.
  • Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead just until it holds together, about 6 turns.
  • Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • Using a floured 2 inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits; re-roll out scraps and cut out remaining biscuits.
  • Transfer biscuits to a large non-stick baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.

I'm not a fan of sage, so I omitted it from the recipe. The biscuits were still good, but I think they would have been better with the sage.

These biscuits were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter next time.
