Pies-N-Thighs Biscuits
Serves8
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 5½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more
- 1½ cups (3 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1½ cups chilled buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten to blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Pulse baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, and 5½ cups flour in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until the texture of coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Mix in buttermilk with a fork, then gently knead just until a shaggy dough comes together.
- Pat out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1¼” thick. Cut out biscuits with a 3” biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps once.
- Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush tops with egg. Bake until golden brown, 30–35 minutes.
