Ingredients
- 3 1/4 cups (425 grams) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) Hiland Unsalted Butter, frozen (plus additional for brushing)
- 1 cup (4 oz) shredded gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage (plus whole leaves for garnishing)
- 1 1/4 cups Hiland Buttermilk, cold
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Grate the frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater. Toss with the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- Fold in the shredded gruyere and chopped sage.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and fold gently until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and press into a rough 12×9-inch rectangle.
- Fold the rectangle into thirds like a letter, rotate 90 degrees, and fold again, sprinkling the work surface and dough with more flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Repeat this folding two more times (a total of four times) to build flaky layers.
- Roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick square and trim the edges if desired. Cut into 9 equal squares and transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- While the biscuits are chilling, preheat oven to 400Ā°F.
- Press a small sage leaf onto the top of each biscuit for decoration if desired. Brush the top of each biscuit with melted butter and bake for 20ā25 minutes or until golden brown.
