Ingredients
Scale
Buttermilk Biscuits:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for the skillet)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or shredded cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk and form the dough.
- Shape the Biscuits: Pat the dough into a round and cut out two biscuits. Remove a small circle from the center of each to create a hole.
- Cook the Biscuits: Cook the biscuit rounds in a skillet, then crack an egg into each hole. Cover and cook until the eggs are set.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper, garnish with chives or cheese, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a shortcut, use store-bought biscuit dough.
- Bake in a 375°F oven for 10–12 minutes if desired.
