Buttermilk Drop Biscuits with Pearl Sugar
Biscuits are a crowdpleaser with their butter-y flavor and ultra tender texture. You've never had biscuits like these—something familiar with something new. We hope you enjoy our Buttermilk Drop Biscuits with Belgian Pearl Sugar.
Servings: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup Belgian pearl sugar
- 1 stick chilled butter cut into cubes
- 1 1/4 cup chilled buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine and mix dry ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, break up butter pieces into buttermilk with a fork. The mixture should take on a lumpy appearance.
- Add buttermilk and butter mixture to dry ingredients. Use care not to over mix and stop mixing once dough begins to pull from the sides of the bowl.
- Scoop off pieces of dough with a large spoon onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow generous space (2 inches) between biscuits as the dough will expand a bit as it bakes. (Optional: Push a few Belgian sugar pearls onto the top of each biscuit.)
- Place biscuits in the oven and allow to bake for 12-14 minutes. Keep an eye for the biscuit tops to turn slightly golden. Move biscuits to a cooling rack and allow 5 minutes to cool before eating. (Optional: Brush biscuit tops with melted butter once out of the oven.)
