Bobby Flay Black Pepper Biscuits Recipe

Welcome to the world of baking with Bobby Flay’s Black Pepper Biscuits! These biscuits combine the warmth of classic comfort food with a peppery twist that you’ll love having around the kitchen. One handy tip for mastering this recipe is to keep your butter cold before incorporating it; this ensures your biscuits come out flakey and delicious!I love this recipe because it pairs perfectly with sweet or savory toppings, offering versatility beyond the typical biscuit. What’s more, using a food processor will save you time and also helps mix the flour and butter just right without overworking the dough.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Get your baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

  • The goal is to mix these dry ingredients evenly.
  • Cut the cold butter into small pieces.
  • Scatter them over the dry mixture.
  • Pulse 4 or 5 times until the texture resembles coarse meal.
  • Add buttermilk to the mixture.
  • Pulse until incorporated.
