Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons (20 grams) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (6 grams) salt
Fats and Dairy:
- 12 tablespoons (170 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 ½ cups (360 milliliters) cold buttermilk
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even heat distribution.
- Utilize a food processor to amalgamate the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Execute two swift pulses to integrate the components thoroughly.
- Introduce small, chilled butter fragments into the flour mixture. Pulse the processor 4-5 times until the texture resembles coarse, sandy crumbs.
- Stream buttermilk into the processor and pulse minimally until the dough begins to coalesce and form a loose, shaggy mass.
- Transfer the dough onto a generously floured work surface. Gently manipulate the mixture into a rectangular shape measuring approximately 10 by 12 inches, maintaining a uniform thickness of 3/4 inch (2 centimeters).
- Employ a 3-inch (7.6 centimeters) round cutter to extract 8 distinct biscuit shapes. Reassemble and re-roll any remaining dough to maximize ingredient usage.
- Arrange the cut biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing slight separation between each piece. Delicately brush the exposed surfaces with cream and sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper.
- Position the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits achieve a delicate golden-brown hue.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, glaze the biscuit tops with melted butter for enhanced flavor and a glossy finish.
