Description

These Pepper Biscuits offer a delightful departure from standard sweet rolls, delivering a robust, savory punch perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. The dough is enriched with coarse cracked black pepper, creating a subtle heat that complements the tender, flaky texture achieved by cutting cold shortening into the flour. The use of buttermilk ensures a rich, tangy flavor profile while keeping the biscuits light and airy. Ideal for pairing with spicy sausage gravy, fried chicken, or simply slathered with butter, these homemade treats bring a rustic, home-style charm to any table. They are easy to prepare with pantry staples and offer a satisfying crunch with every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and baking soda.
  3. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together; do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  6. Cut the dough into 12 biscuits using a floured biscuit cutter or a sharp knife.
  7. Place the biscuits slightly touching on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Note

For extra spice, sprinkle additional coarse black pepper on top of the biscuits before baking.

Serve immediately while warm and flaky. These biscuits pair excellently with gravy, soup, or fried chicken.

If you do not have buttermilk, substitute with 1 cup of milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar; let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

To freeze, bake as directed, cool completely, and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10 minutes.
