A delightful fusion of warm, buttery biscuits with cool, creamy ice cream. This unique dessert combines the comforting flavors of freshly baked biscuits with the indulgent taste of ice cream, creating a deliciously unexpected treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 pint of your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or any flavor you prefer)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape and Bake Biscuits:
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving.
- Cut each biscuit in half and top with a scoop of ice cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Feel free to add toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel, or fresh fruit for extra flavor!
