Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Salt (Kosher or Table Salt)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Very Cold
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Rosemary, Chopped
  • 1 (6 ounce) Log of Fresh Goat Cheese, Crumbled
  • 1 Cup + 4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream; Divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your biscuits bake evenly and do not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients and Incorporate Butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Using a large cheese grater, shred the very cold butter into the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the mix until it resembles a coarse meal with small pea-sized bits.
  3. Add Flavorings and Cream: Stir the chopped fresh rosemary into the flour-butter mixture. Add the crumbled goat cheese and 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of the heavy cream. Mix with a fork just until a messy, sticky dough ball forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a generously floured surface. With very floured hands, knead the dough about 6-7 times until it forms a cohesive ball. Be careful not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Shape and Cut: Pat the dough ball down to about 1 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Re-roll any scraps gently to cut out additional biscuits.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuits on the lined baking sheet, then brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon of heavy cream for a beautiful golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the biscuits immediately, ideally with butter and strawberry jam for a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is very cold to achieve flaky biscuits.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to keep the biscuits tender and light.
  • Fresh rosemary adds the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch (use about 1 tablespoon, finely chopped).
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
  • These biscuits pair wonderfully with butter, honey, or jams.
