Chocolate Chip Biscuits
Chocolate Chip Biscuits are tender, light, and full of chocolate chips and topped with a sweet whipping cream glaze. Southern biscuits don't get any more delicious.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup whole buttermilk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add butter and use a pastry blender or 2 forks to cut it in until there are no pieces larger than a pea.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring just until it is mixed in. Mix in chocolate chips.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Roll dough out, fold in half and roll out to 3/4-inch thickness.
- Cut dough with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, dipping it in flour each time.. Reroll scraps and cut more biscuits. Place biscuits in a 10-inch cast iron skillet so that they are just touching.Or you can place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool slightly and then drizzle with glaze.
- To make glaze, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl.
Notes
I like to stick my butter in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before making the biscuits to be sure it is very cold.
