Sea Salt, Black Pepper, and Scallion Biscuits: Bread

Servings: 10

Prep time:30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 1 cup cake flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped into small pieces (include both white and green)

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen, plus a little extra for brushing

  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 450F.

Step 2:

Whisk flours in large mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into flours and mix with hands until well distributed. Whisk in baking powder, soda, sugar, salt and pepper.

Step 3:

Add chopped scallions to buttermilk and then to flour mixture. Gently incorporate wet into dry ingredients.

Step 4:

When a dough has been achieved, turn out onto floured board and gently form into a rough square about 1 inch thick and cut into 8-10 squares (this is an estimate – you can make them whatever size you want to).

Step 5:

Place on cookie sheet and brush with melted butter; sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly brown on the top.
