Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup leftover cooked stuffing (or boxed stuffing, prepared and cooled)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or sage (optional)
For Baking
- Nonstick spray or butter for baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until fully combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces.
- Add Stuffing and Herbs: Gently stir in the prepared stuffing along with the optional chopped fresh parsley or sage, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Add Buttermilk and Form Dough: Pour in the buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash more buttermilk until it holds together.
- Shape Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round disk. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out individual rounds. Gather any scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the biscuit rounds about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with butter or gravy for a comforting side dish experience.
Notes
- Perfect for using leftover holiday stuffing to reduce waste and add flavor.
- For extra richness, brush biscuit tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder before baking.
- You can freeze unbaked biscuits; bake from frozen by adding 3-5 extra minutes to cooking time.
