Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (very cold)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 - 5 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 2 green or red apples, finely diced or grated
  • 2 - 4 teaspoons finely minced sage (according to your preference)
  • 1/3 cup diced gruyere cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Cut or grate the butter into the flour mixture. Then, stir in the sage, apple, and gruyere until well distributed. Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine the 2 eggs and buttermilk. Whisk until well combined.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the egg mixture and stir until it comes together.
  • Whisk together the egg wash in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • Turn out on a lightly floured counter and knead a few times until it holds its shape, adding additional flour if needed. Divide into two equal portions (a kitchen scale helps with this) and roll into an 8 or 9-inch circle. Dust the bottom of the circles with flour.
  • Cut each circle into 6 to 8 triangles. Place the triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush with the egg wash, then bake for 15-25 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until golden and cooked through.
  • Cool on a wire rack until cool enough to handle. Serve.
