Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, (chilled and cut into small cubes)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced pepperoni
- 3 tsp finely chopped basil
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Instruction
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and pepper.
- Work the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your hands, until it resembles coarse meal. Blend in shredded cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and basil.
- Add buttermilk and pizza sauce to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, taking care not to over-mix. Dough will be wet.
- Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead just until it comes together. If dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more flour. Pat dough into a round about 3/4-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter with a roughly 2 3/4-inch diameter (you can also use a drinking glass, circle cookie cutter, etc.), cut rounds out of dough.
- Place biscuits about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet and re-work dough to continue cutting out biscuits.
- Bake biscuits for 20-24 minutes, until they’re just turning golden on top.
- Serve warm or cool on baking racks before serving.
