Biscuit Ingredients

Method

Biscuit Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, benne seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Fold in Peaches and Goat Cheese

    Gently fold in the diced peaches and crumbled goat cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  6. 6

    Shape and Bake

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm.
