Buffalo Blue Biscuits

Buffalo Blue Biscuits

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 c all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 c buttermilk or regular milk, cold
1 c Buffalo Blue Olives
1/2 c pepperoni (optional)

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Position an oven rack so it is in the top third of the oven.
    2. Drain Buffalo Blue Olives® and roughly chop or slice. If choosing to add pepperoni, chop or slice that as well.
    3. In a medium bowl add flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
    4. Using your fingers or fork, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles small pebbles. Add buttermilk and gently mix until a rough dough is formed. Mix in the chopped or sliced Buffalo Blue Olives® and pepperoni (do not overmix).
    5. Scoop dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently gather into a 1-inch-thick square
    6. Using a 2" round biscuit cutter, cut as many rounds as your square will allow. Gather the scraps once, reform and cut a few more. (You will have about 12 biscuits.)
    7. Place rounds on a small, rimmed baking sheet so that they touch each other. Bake in the top third of the oven until light golden brown and cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
    8. Serve and enjoy!
