BROWN BUTTER BISCUITS
From Real Simple magazine
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
2 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup whole milk
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a skillet or small saucepan over
medium heat. Swirl or stir the butter with a wooden spoon as it
starts to foam and sputter. Remove the butter from the heat as soon
as it begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and
salt. Gently stir in the brown butter and milk.
On a floured surface, shape the dough with your hands into a
1/2-inch-thick disk. Cut the dough into 2-inch round biscuits. Place
on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until the tops are lightly
golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with jam and clotted cream or
butter.
Tip: Brown butter adds richness to muffins, shortbread, and scones.
Use it at room temperature as a substitute for the cold butter called
for in your recipe.
Makes 15 small biscuits
