Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups cups (250g) flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp (70g) cold unsalted butter (, cut into small cubes)
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Sesame and flex seeds

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter cubes, and using a pastry cutter or fork cut the butter until the pieces are no bigger than peas. Refrigerate the bowl to chill for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Add over the  butter/flour mixture and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened. Knead gently about 3-4 times to bring it together.
  • Lightly dust with flour the working surface and roll the dough into a 9×5-inch rectangle and about 1/2-inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds like a business letter,using the long sides of the rectangle. Repeat this step,  roll the dough into a 9×5-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick, and again fold it into thirds like a letter.
  • Finally roll the dough out to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 inch round cutter, cut biscuits from the dough (don't twist the cutter, use a straight up and straight down motion).
  • Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them. Beat the egg yolk and brush the biscuits. Sprinkle sesame and flex seeds on top of each.
  • Bake for about 11-12 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and are golden brown on top.
  • Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
