Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of almond butter, 1 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving with a dollop of almond butter on top. Enjoy!
The history of the biscuit with almond butter dates back to the early 20th century when it became a popular alternative to the traditional jam-filled biscuit. This delectable treat gained popularity in the southern United States, where chefs and home cooks alike began experimenting with different nut butters as a spread for their biscuits. The rich, creamy texture of almond butter paired perfectly with the flaky, buttery biscuit, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Today, this dish can be found in many cafes and bakeries across the southern US, particularly in regions known for their culinary expertise such as Charleston, South Carolina, and New Orleans, Louisiana. The key to a perfect biscuit with almond butter lies in the quality of the biscuit itself - it should be light, fluffy, and perfectly baked. As for the almond butter, using a high-quality, freshly ground almond butter is essential to achieving the best flavor and texture. For those looking to put a unique spin on this classic dish, some chefs have experimented with adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the almond butter for an extra layer of flavor. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence or a sweet afternoon snack, the biscuit with almond butter is a delightful treat that continues to captivate food enthusiasts with its simple yet irresistible charm.
