OH NO!!! I DON’T HAVE A BISCUIT CUTTER!!

No worries, neither do I!! I realized as I was mixing together the ingredients for these Sage Biscuits that I do not own a biscuit cutter and the closest thing I had to one was either a heart shaped cookie cutter or the open end of a drinking glass.  Now, I don’t know that the heart shaped cookie cutter wouldn’t have worked but these Sage Biscuits are not fussy.  Simply pull off enough dough to made the size of the biscuits you want and shape them using your hands before placing them on your baking pan.

HOW DO I MAKE SAGE BISCUITS?

Easy! Start by adding butter to a small skillet and melt over medium-high heat.  Add the whole sage leaves to the melted butter, stirring constantly until the sage has lightly fried.  When the sage starts to get crispy, move to a paper towel lined plate. Once cooled, dice the sage into small pieces. To make Sage Biscuits simply add flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and stir together with a fork.  Add in the milk and sage and stir everything together until it just barely comes together.  Cut in very cold butter and using your hands, mix to combine into a ball, again careful not to overwork the dough.  Pull off enough dough to make the size of an average biscuit and lightly shape dough with your hands into the shape of a hockey puck.  Place on an ungreased non-stick pan and repeat until all the dough has been used. Cook in a 425 degree pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes.  Remove and serve immediately

HELPFUL TIPS

  • Be sure to fry up the sage instead of adding the sage into your biscuits raw.  Frying sage brings out the flavor and is better than chewy raw sage in these Sage Biscuits
  • These Sage Biscuits would be amazing to add to your Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.  Perfect!!
  • Be sure to use very cold butter in this recipe.  Cold butter lightly cut in will create beautiful flaky layers in these Sage Biscuits
