Cranberry Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries, coarsely chopped or sliced
- 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- Zest of 1 orange, optional
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 10 ounces
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, cold, diced or shredded
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, well shaken
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the cranberries, chopped walnuts, orange zest (if using), and granulated sugar in a bowl; toss to blend and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk to blend. Add the diced butter. With your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the cranberry mixture and stir to blend the ingredients.
- Add the buttermilk and stir with your hands or a fork until the mixture clumps together. If the mixture is too dry, add more buttermilk or milk in very small amounts. Move the clumped mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to form a soft dough.
- Pat the dough into a circle or square about 1/2-inch thick or slightly thicker.
- Cut out biscuits with biscuit cutters or use a knife to cut them into squares or wedges.
- Place the cut-out biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes.
