Recipe
Biscuits
Ingredients
- 425g flour
- 20g sugar
- 15g baking powder
- 2g baking soda
- 10g salt
- 225g unsalted butter frozen
- 300ml buttermilk
Method
1. Start by placing the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
2. Next, grate your frozen butter into the bowl and lightly toss, making sure the butter is evenly distributed.
3. Make a well in the centre and pour in your buttermilk. Mix this until your dough has just started to form then turn it out onto a floured bench.
4. Bring the dough into a rectangular shape and fold it twice like you're folding a letter for an envelope.
5. Turn this 90° and roll it with a rolling pin and repeat the folding step.
6. Repeat the last two steps four more times.
7. Once your folding has finished, cover with clingfilm and rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
8. Preheat your oven to 200°c. Remove the dough from the fridge, roll it out so it's roughly 3cm thick. With a knife cut into six even pieces.
9. Brush this with some melted butter and flaky salt and bake for 25 minutes or until doubled in size and golden brown.
**Sausage and gravy**
- 6 sausages
- 2 tbsp flour
- 50g butter
- 230ml milk
- Chives, finely sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
**Method**
1. Take your sausages out of the skins and break them up in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once they're broken up and have some nice colour, add the butter to the pan.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir well - you should end up with a smooth roux.
3. Pour in the cold milk and stir until you have a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve the gravy over the warm biscuits and finish with some chopped chives. Enjoy!
