Ingredients

Measurements:

2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
115 g cold unsalted butter
cut into cubes
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
2 tbsp milk

Instructions

1
Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and process to combine.
2
Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and process until the dough just forms.
3
Turn the dough onto a well-floured countertop and pat into a rectangle about 2cm thick. Fold the dough in half, give the dough a quarter turn and pat until about 2cm thick. Cut in half crosswise and stack the 2 halves on top of each other. Pat again into a rectangle. Cover with a dish towel and allow to rest on the countertop for approximately 30 minutes.
4
To preheat the oven, insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 205°C, for 12 minutes and press Start. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Tip: Recipe has been optimized for the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
5
Pat the dough to about 2cm thick. Using a floured 6cm round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits and place on a parchment lined tray. Brush with milk.
Tip: You can use the dough offcuts, bring together into a ball and pat to about 2.5cm thick, cut into rounds.
6
Once preheated, place the biscuits in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
7
While these biscuits put on a great breakfast show, they also like to get in on some other useful action. Use the dough to top your favorite cobbler or pot pie before baking. Split and top for the best grilled cheese biscuit, flatten out the dough for a quick pizza base or our fave…split and fill with berries and cream for the a lip smackin’ strawberry shortcake.
