Sweet Southern Sally. Oh, baby Jesus! I just created God’s gift. No, it’s not salvation, it’s very clearly, a buttermilk biscuit.
Get your head on straight, this here is a food blog! The only salvation you’ll find here comes from red wine and carbohydrates wrapped in butter sticks. Yes siree. A biscuit so moist, flaky and fragrant, it could only be a gift from above.
Because to me, a buttermilk biscuit sets the stage for endless flavor profile possibilities. And you bet your tail if I am putting something into a biscuit, it’s probably going to be cheese.
Please fasten your apron straps, and prepare for your eyes to roll back in your head.
Brie and Sage Buttermilk Biscuits
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
1/4 cup heavy cream
Coarsely ground black pepper, for sprinkling
Coarse salt, for sprinkling
1/4 lb of brie, wax removed and cut into chunks
4 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped all rustic like
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Stir well to mix ingredients.
Scatter the diced butter over the top of the flour mixture and cut with two knives, a pastry cutter, or very quickly to avoid melting the butter, your hands.
Add the buttermilk, sage, and brie and mix just until the dough comes together. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a round cutter to make as many biscuits as the dough allows, gathering the scraps and reforming.
It should make about 10 biscuits.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse salt and black pepper.
Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Cool on a rack, or serve them up hot and fresh from the oven!
Clearly, with butter.
And clearly, you’re welcome.
Love,
Whit

Heaven isn’t made of pillowy marshmallow clouds, it’s made of brie and sage biscuits. Freaking fantastic idea!

Dear Lord in Heaven. . .

These biscuits look and sound amazing-there is nothing better than a cloud-like buttermilk biscuit, except maybe one with brie!

I actually whimpered with desire as I read this recipe and drooled over the pictures of these biscuits. I’m going to have to figure out how to convince my husband that we NEED to buy brie and sage at the store. Oh my goodness.. I’m happy just thinking about these!
