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 & Add-ins

  • 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 and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Grate the very cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture using a large cheese grater. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which ensures flaky biscuit layers.
  4. Add Rosemary and Goat Cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh rosemary, then fold in the crumbled goat cheese, distributing the flavor-rich cheese throughout the dough.
  5. Combine with Cream: Pour in 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and stir with a fork just until a sticky, messy dough ball forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  6. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and gently knead with flour-dusted hands about 6-7 times until the dough is cohesive and forms a smooth ball.
  7. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Flatten the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Gather and re-roll scrap pieces to cut more biscuits.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with the remaining heavy cream to promote golden browning.
  9. Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the biscuits develop a beautiful golden brown color and a chewy, tender crumb.
  10. Serve Warm: Serve the biscuits immediately for best flavor and texture. These are excellent with butter and strawberry jam or alongside savory dishes.

Notes

  • Use very cold butter to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
  • Fresh rosemary provides the best flavor; dried rosemary can be used but reduce quantity as it is more concentrated.
  • Brush the biscuit tops with cream for a shiny, golden finish.
  • Serve warm for optimal taste and texture.
