Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh parsley, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a scorching 450F (230C), strategically positioning a baking vessel inside to warm thoroughly.
- Craft a vibrant cowboy butter fusion by whisking together molten butter, minced garlic, zesty Dijon mustard, smoky paprika, fiery red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, bright lemon juice, and seasoning.
- Construct the biscuit foundation by blending flour, leavening agent, salt, and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Gradually introduce buttermilk into the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft, slightly tacky dough emerges.
- Extract the heated baking dish from the oven, generously cascading the prepared cowboy butter across its surface to create an even, glistening coating.
- Delicately portion the dough into 9 rustic mounds directly within the butter-lined dish, allowing them to naturally merge during baking.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven, allowing the biscuits to transform into golden-crowned delicacies over 20-25 minutes.
- Once emerged, permit the biscuits a brief moment to settle before serving, presenting them with additional cowboy butter for indulgent dipping.
Notes
- Customize the heat by adjusting red pepper flakes, perfect for spice lovers or those who prefer milder flavors.
- Swap buttermilk with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk mixed with lemon juice for a vegan-friendly version.
- Use high-quality unsalted butter to control sodium levels and enhance overall flavor profile.
- Check biscuit doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out clean with no wet dough.
