Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1½ cups cold buttermilk + few tbsps extra (I added 1.5 cups and then added 1 tbsp at a time until I reached a stage where I was able to gather the dough together)
  • ½ cup heavy cream for coating the tops
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
Garlicky greens
  • 3-4 cups chopped greens of your choice (I used spinach)
  • 4-6 garlic cloves, chopped fine
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Cheese slices (I used sharp cheddar)
  • Eggs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl mix both flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate the chilled butter over the top of the flour mixture and mix using fingers until it resembles a coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and stir until it comes together. Make sure you don't over work the dough or you will end up with hard biscuits.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about ¾-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter (or your favorite size cutter) to make 8 biscuits then place them on the lined baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, and repeat process. Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool a little before serving.
Garlicky greens
  1. In a pan, add oil. Once hot to it add garlic. Saute and to it add greens and cook until they wilt. Season with salt.
  2. Cook egg the way you prefer.
  3. Cut the biscuit in half. Add a slice of cheese, some garlicky greens, egg and little more greens. Close and devour immediately. I like adding some habanero hot sauce on top too for a kick.
Notes
