Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Herbs

  • ½ cup celery, chopped
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (divided)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Add the chopped celery, onion, carrots, fresh thyme, fresh sage, ¼ teaspoon salt, and black pepper to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped to create a flavorful vegetable mixture.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped vegetable mixture and cook for 10-12 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the biscuits.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of the melted and cooled unsalted butter.
  6. Make the Dough: Add the wet buttermilk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Then fold in the cooled sautéed vegetable mixture until evenly incorporated.
  7. Shape the Biscuits: Using a spoon, place 12 heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking stone or baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Bake the Biscuits (First Stage): Place the baking stone with the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes until they start to rise and develop a light crust.
  9. Prepare Rosemary Butter: While the biscuits are baking, mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter with the chopped fresh rosemary to create a flavorful topping.
  10. Brush Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the oven after 12 minutes and generously brush the tops with the rosemary butter mixture.
  11. Bake Biscuits (Second Stage): Return the biscuits to the oven and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, allowing them to brown deeply and absorb the rosemary butter flavor.
  12. Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve warm. They pair excellently with extra butter, cranberry sauce, gravy, or can be used as the base for turkey sliders.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh herbs as indicated; dried herbs can be substituted but reduce quantity by half.
  • Ensure the melted butter used in the dough is cooled to avoid affecting the dough texture.
  • Use a baking stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • These biscuits freeze well; thaw and warm before serving.
  • Adjust salt according to dietary needs or preferences.
  • Try adding chopped cooked sausage to the vegetable mixture for a heartier biscuit variation.
