Ingredients:
For the Biscuit Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
For the Filling (Choose one or mix and match):
- Sweet Filling Options:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup raspberry jam
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar mixture (1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon)
- Savory Filling Options:
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- ½ cup spinach and feta cheese mixture
For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for sweet bites)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Roll Out the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute. Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough (about 3 inches in diameter).
- Stuff the Biscuits: Place a tablespoon of your chosen filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal tightly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed biscuit bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Add Finishing Touches: If making sweet bites, immediately sprinkle with sugar while they are still warm. For a delightful twist, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the biscuit bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a perfect snack or breakfast treat!
