Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 1/3 cup finely diced onion
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup seasoned stuffing mix, crushed slightly
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the diced celery and onion with a small splash of broth for about 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, dried sage, and dried thyme until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- Add Stuffing Mix and Herbs: Stir in the crushed seasoned stuffing mix and the chopped fresh parsley, distributing them evenly throughout the flour and butter mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients and Vegetables: Add the cooled celery and onion mixture to the bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and the remaining broth. Gently mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms, careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut the dough into rounds or squares, as preferred.
- Bake: Arrange the biscuit pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush the tops generously with melted butter before serving to add richness and shine.
Notes
- For extra flavor and heartiness, fold in 1/4 cup cooked crumbled sausage or diced turkey into the dough.
- Fresh herbs like rosemary or additional sage can elevate the traditional stuffing taste.
- These biscuits pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, turkey, or any holiday meal providing a comforting and flavorful side.
