Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Dough

  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar Feel free to omit if making purely savory biscuits.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Sea salt may add complexity.
For the Flavorful Filling
  • 1 cup Celery Adds crunch and flavor; bell pepper is a substitute.
  • 1 cup Onion Provides aromatic sweetness; shallots offer a milder option.
  • 1 cup Carrots Parsnips can be a good alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Use dried thyme if needed (1 tsp).
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Sage Essential for that Thanksgiving flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Use dried rosemary (adjust to 1 tsp).
For the Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Substitute with milk mixed with vinegar if unavailable.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by adding finely chopped celery, onion, carrots, fresh thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper into a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, about 15-20 seconds.
  2. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped vegetable mixture and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of bread flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Add a pinch of salt and whisk until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Fold in the cooled vegetable mixture.
  6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the baking sheet, about 12 mounds.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes, then brush the tops with melted butter mixed with 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary. Return to the oven for an additional 6-8 minutes until deep golden brown.
  8. Carefully remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm.
