Sage Buttermilk Biscuits (Flaky Savory Biscuit Recipe)
Flaky buttermilk sage biscuits with fried sage leaves .. the ultimate savory biscuits with herbs. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any cozy meal. Easy, buttery, and irresistibly fragrant!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 15-20 sage leaves (0.75 ounce pkg)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter cold
Instructions
- To fry the sage, start by adding 1 tablespoon 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, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and stir together with a fork. Add in the buttermilk 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 and approximately 3/4 of an inch high.
- Place on an ungreased non-stick pan or a pan covered in parchment paper and repeat until all the dough has been used. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove and serve immediately
