Description

These Simple Gruyere Biscuits are flaky, buttery, and filled with the rich, nutty flavor of Gruyere cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory bread side, they are easy to make and bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded Gruyere cheese
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which helps create flaky layers.
  4. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded Gruyere cheese to infuse the dough with its rich, nutty flavor.
  5. Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Shape Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into an even 1-inch thick layer for uniform baking.
  7. Cut Biscuits: Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out individual biscuits, repositioning the dough as needed for additional biscuits.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  9. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  10. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for the best flavor and texture, ideal alongside soups, salads, or eggs.

Notes

  • Keep the butter cold for the flakiest biscuits and to prevent greasy dough.
  • Sharp white cheddar cheese can be used as a substitute if Gruyere is unavailable.
  • These biscuits pair excellently with soups, salads, or eggs making them very versatile.
