Rosemary Goat Cheese Biscuits
Rosemary Goat Cheese Biscuits are flaky baked goods made with all-purpose flour, fresh chopped rosemary, crumbly goat cheese, and cold butter. The dough is gently kneaded, formed into rounds, and brushed with heavy cream before baking to a golden brown. The result is a biscuit with tender crumb and savory herb and cheese flavors.
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!
