Homemade Sage Biscuits
Yield 5-6 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 6 tablespoons plain yogurt (I love using Chobani's Plain Greek Yogurt)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, sage, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter {or use your fingers like my husband does} until the mixture has the texture of coarse meal.
- Add the yogurt and stir until the mixture forms into a dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times (don’t overwork the dough — you’ll end up with heavy, dense biscuits).
- If needed, add more flour to your work surface, and then flatten the ball of dough until it is about 3/4 – 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter (or the open side of a glass) to cut out the biscuits. (Flour the edges of your biscuit cutter so the dough doesn’t stick.)
- Combine the scraps and repeat the process of flattening the dough and cutting out the remaining rounds.
- Transfer the rounds to a lined baking sheet and brush the tops of the biscuits with the whisked egg. Bake for about 12-15 minutes (until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through).
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before slicing or eating.
