These flaky biscuits are the perfect foil for Nova Scotia Seafood Chowder.

Ingredients

    3 cups all-purpose flour
    4 tsp granulated sugar
    4 tsp baking powder
    1-1/2 tsp dried savory
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    3/4 cup cold butter, cubed
    1-1/2 cups buttermilk
    Topping:
    1 tbsp buttermilk
    1 tsp Dijon mustard
    1/2 tsp garlic salt

Preparation

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, savory, baking soda and salt.

Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until crumbly. Drizzle with buttermilk, tossing with fork until mixture clumps into soft dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface; pat into 10-inch (25 cm) square; cut into 12 rectangles.

Topping: Mix buttermilk with mustard; brush over tops of biscuits. Sprinkle with garlic salt.

Place biscuits, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake in 425ºF (220ºC) oven until light golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Serve warm or let cool on rack. (Make-ahead: Let cool completely. Store in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
