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.
