• tổng thời gian: 22 minutes

Nguyên liệu

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, frozen

4 cups (560 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting and adjusting dough

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 cups cold buttermilk, plus additional for brushing

¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives (lightly fried in brown butter, optional)

Hướng dẫn

1 Preheat oven to 430 F

2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3 Using a cheese grater, grate the frozen butter directly into the dry mixture.

4 Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until the dough just begins to come together.

5 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

6 Sprinkle half of the chives over the dough, then fold the dough over itself.

7 Repeat the folding process with the remaining chives, then fold the dough over itself four more times, working quickly to keep the butter cold.If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour as needed.

8 Gently press the dough into a flat slab at least 1½ inches thick (the taller the dough the taller your biscuits)

9 Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits by pressing straight down without twisting.

10 Place the biscuits in a greased baking pan so they are touching.

11 Brush the tops with additional buttermilk.

12 Bake at 430°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
