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. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly distributed.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Using a large cheese grater, shred the very cold unsalted butter directly into the dry ingredients. With your fingertips, gently rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with small pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add Herbs and Cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh rosemary evenly throughout the mixture. Then add the crumbled goat cheese and 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of the heavy cream, stirring gently with a fork just until a sticky, messy ball of dough forms.
  5. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a generously floured work surface. With floured hands, knead the dough about 6-7 times until it forms a smooth ball. Avoid overworking to maintain tenderness.
  6. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Pat the dough ball into a 1-inch thick round. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuit rounds as possible. Gather and reroll any scraps to use up all the dough.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the remaining 1 tablespoon of heavy cream for a golden finish.
  8. Bake: Bake biscuits in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. These biscuits pair wonderfully with butter and strawberry jam or as a savory side.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter for the best flaky texture in biscuits.
  • Fresh rosemary adds a wonderful aroma and flavor; dried rosemary can be used but use less as it is more concentrated.
  • Don’t overmix or overknead the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  • For easy cleanup and non-stick, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture; biscuits can be reheated gently if needed.
