   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  salt
   1 1/2         sticks  unsalted butter -- Note 1:
   1                     shallot -- minced and sautéed
      1/2           cup  cranberries -- chopped dried
      1/2           cup  walnuts -- chopped toasted
   1                cup  buttermilk -- chilled
                         Flaky salt -- such as Maldon, and pepper to taste

With crunchy nuts, sweet-tart cranberries and sautéed shallots, these 
make fantastic bread for turkey sandwiches.

Note 1: 10 Tbsps cut into 1/2" cubes and chilled, 2 Tbsps melted

Active: 15 mins
Total: 40 mins

Preheat the oven to 425F and position a rack in the lower third of 
the oven. In a large shallow bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, 
baking soda and fine salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry 
blender or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour until it is the 
size of peas. Stir in shallot, cranberries, walnuts, and pepper. Stir 
in the buttermilk just until the dough is moistened. Lightly dust a 
work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and 
knead 2 or 3 times, just until it comes together. Pat the dough into 
a 1/2" thick disk.

Using a floured 2 1/4" round cookie cutter, stamp out biscuit rounds 
as closely together as possible. Gather the scraps and knead them 
together 2 or 3 times, then flatten the dough and stamp out more 
biscuit rounds. Pat the remaining scraps together and gently press 
them into a biscuit.

Transfer the biscuits to a large baking sheet and brush the tops with 
the melted butter. Lightly sprinkle the biscuits with a few grains of 
flaky salt and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.

Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes, or until golden. Let the biscuits 
cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Make Ahead: The unbaked biscuits can be frozen: Freeze biscuits in a 
single layer and transfer to a resealable plastic bag for up to one 
month. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the 
cooking time.
