Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for serving
  • 1 large hard-cooked egg yolk, finely grated
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, plus more for brushing
  • Pepper jelly, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or rub in with your fingers) until pea-size crumbs form. Cut in yolk. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead twice. Pat dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits, and transfer to a nonstick baking sheet. Repat dough scraps, and repeat once.

Lightly brush biscuit tops with buttermilk. Bake until tops are golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve hot with butter and pepper jelly on the side.

                @notrunofthemill: That would be the same amount of milk as the buttermilk, minus 1 tsp.

                This will be my new go-to biscuit recipe!  I left out the egg yolk, and they were still really delicious, flakey and flavorful. Great for a breakfast/brunch or on the side with  a soup or stew.  I used egg was on top rather than buttermilk for a nice brown sheen with a little crispness.

                Very easy and delicious. I didn't have any buttermilk on hand so used regular 1% and added 1tsp vinegar to it. Also didn't add the grated egg yolk - didn't miss it at all, they were light and moist. I brushed with butter after baking.
