Ingredients
Biscuits
- 3 cups (410 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (20 g) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated onion
- 2 sticks (8 oz, 227 g) unsalted butter, cold
- 4 oz (113 g) white or sharp cheddar, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives
- 1 cup (260 g) buttermilk, cold plus 2 tablespoons for brushing the biscuits
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Dice the butter. The trick here is to dice the butter small, into 1/4" cubes. Place the diced butter in a bowl and transfer to the freezer while you're getting the rest of the ingredients together.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, dehydrated onions, and baking soda. Mix in the chives and cheddar.
- Mix in the butter. Remove the butter from the freezer and add it to the bowl of dry ingredients and toss well. Mix with the paddle attachment on medium-low until the mixture resembles clumpy sand with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Mix in the wet ingredients. With the mixer running, stream in the buttermilk and mix just until the dough clumps together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and press the dough into a 8x11 rectangle.
- Laminate the dough. Fold the rectangle into thirds and press into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Repeat folding and pressing 3 more times. Press the dough into a 9" square that's about 1" thick.
- Preheat an oven to 450 F.
- Cut and bake. Using a sharp knife, cut into 9 equal squares and transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Brush the tops with the remaining buttermilk and sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffy and golden brown.
