Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Blend flour, baking powder, salt, sage, cayenne and black pepper in food processor or large bowl.
  3. Add cold butter and pulse, or quickly blend with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture and process just until moist clumps begin to form. Do not overmix or you'll have "rubber" biscuits!
  5. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until it holds together, about 6 turns.
  6. Roll out or pat dough to 1/2" thickness. Using a floured 2" biscuit or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut remaining biscuits.
  7. Transfer biscuits to a large nonstick baking sheet.
  8. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
