Description

Flaky, light biscuits filled with melty chocolate chips and drizzled with a creamy glaze. YUM!


Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter (, cubed)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Whipping Cream Glaze:

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using a pasty blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly.
  3. Add chocolate chips, and toss until coated. Gradually add 3/4 cup of the buttermilk, mixing until dry ingredients are moistened. Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk, if needed. (I used the full cup)
  4. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 4 or 5 times. Roll dough 3/4 inch thick and then fold the dough in half and roll again to 3/4″ thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter dipped in flour, cut dough, trying to get as many biscuits cut as you can. Reroll scraps once and cut remaining biscuits. Place biscuits in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with sides touching slightly.
  5. Bake 18-20 mins or until lightly browned. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes then drizzle with whipping cream glaze.
  6. To make the glaze, whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
