Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Butter
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, roughly diced
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the fresh spinach finely and roughly dice the sun dried tomatoes. Measure out the flour, baking powder, and salt. Keep the butter chilled until ready to blend. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Cut in Butter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes, then work it quickly into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Spinach, Tomatoes, and Cheese: Stir in the chopped spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and grated cheese if using. Distribute evenly throughout the mixture for consistent flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until just incorporated, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or glass, cut into rounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Keep butter cold to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
- Do not overmix dough to maintain light, tender biscuits.
- Use fresh spinach and quality sun dried tomatoes for best flavor.
- Customize cheese for different taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Ensure your oven is preheated and hot for optimal biscuit rise and crust.
