Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients & Fats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more as needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the biscuits.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, celery, and carrot and cook for 4–5 minutes until they soften, then remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, dried sage, dried thyme, and black pepper until evenly combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Vegetables and Parsley: Stir in the sautéed vegetables and chopped parsley until well mixed throughout the flour and butter mixture.
- Form Dough: Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir just until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more buttermilk as needed.
- Shape Biscuits: Transfer the dough to a floured surface, gently pat it out to about 1-inch thickness, then cut rounds using a biscuit cutter.
- Bake: Place the biscuit rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, optionally topped with butter or gravy for extra flavor.
Notes
- For added richness, brush the tops with melted butter before or after baking.
- These biscuits can be made ahead of time and reheated when needed.
- Try adding chopped cooked sausage or cranberries into the dough for a fun twist on the recipe.
