Rosemary Goat Cheese Biscuits
Description
This recipe combines dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper with cold butter shredded into the mix to create a coarse, crumbly texture. Fresh rosemary and crumbled goat cheese are folded in along with heavy cream to bind the dough. The dough is kneaded slightly on a floured surface, then shaped into a thick round and cut into biscuit-shaped rounds. The biscuits are placed on a lined baking sheet, brushed with cream, and baked at 400°F until golden brown.
The resulting biscuits are tender and flaky with the earthy aroma of rosemary and tangy richness from the goat cheese. They can be enjoyed warm, suitable as a savory breakfast item, a side for soups or salads, or as part of a brunch spread. The cream wash enhances browning and adds a delicate richness to the crust.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 Teaspoon salt kosher or table salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter very cold
- 1/4 Cup rosemary fresh, chopped
- goat cheese 6 ounce log, fresh, crumbled
- 1 Cup heavy cream 4 tablespoons, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper; whisk well to combine. Using a large cheese grater shred the butter into the dry ingredients; use your fingertips to rub the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal. Stir in the rosemary, then add in the goat cheese and 1 cup + 3 Tablespoons of the cream; stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with very floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it. Pat the ball down into a 1" thick round, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, brush each one with a little of the remaining cream, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Eat at once! These are really good with butter and strawberry jam!
