Description
In America, “biscuits” (similar to British scones) are often served at breakfast with bacon, sausage, or scrambled egg.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat the oven to 230°C (Gas 8). In a large bowl, or the bowl of a food processor, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and rub it in, or pulse-blend, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 2 of 4
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and stir in the buttermilk. You will need to use your hands to bring the dough together. Gently knead the mixture on a floured work surface to form a soft dough.
Step 3 of 4
Gently roll the dough out to a thickness of 2.5cm. Cut rounds out of the dough with a 7cm biscuit cutter. Gently bring the dough back together and re-roll it to cut out as many as possible.
Step 4 of 4
Brush each biscuit with a little of the egg. Bake in the top of the oven for 10-12 minutes, until they have risen and are golden brown.
