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 bit dry, but they were still pretty good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out flat and dense. I'm going to try again soon, and I'm hoping for better results.

These biscuits were a bit too plain for my taste. I think I'll try adding some herbs or cheese next time.
