Double Chocolate Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk flaky biscuits can't get any better unless you make them into chocolate buttermilk biscuits. They have a chocolate cocoa taste with a subtle sweetness and a flaky texture and the best part... more chocolate.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 4 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 4 tablespoons Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 8 tablespoons Butter, chilled
- 3/4 cups Buttermilk, chilled + 2 tablespoons, (for brushing over the biscuits before baking, optional)
- 1/4 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, mini
- Raw Sugar, optional, for topping the buiscuits
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cocoa powder and salt together in a food processor. Pulse to mix.
- Cube the butter and add. Pulse until the butter is combine and looks similar to a sandy mixture.
- Pour the content from the food processor into a bowl.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the chilled buttermilk and mini chocolate chips. Combine until the dough comes together.
- Dump out the dough on a well floured surface. Fold the dough a few times, but do not over work it.
- Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of about one inch.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits in a straight up and down motion. Note: Do not twist when cutting out the biscuits. Twisting will seal the sides preventing them to properly rise.
- Place the cut out biscuits on a baking sheet. They can be close to each other, but try not to have them touching.
- Reform the scrap pieces and roll out again and cut more biscuits until you use all of the dough.
- Brush with buttermilk biscuits.
- Sprinkle the course raw sugar, this step is optional.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve as is or a la mode (with a scoop of vanilla ice cream), or with fresh fruits and berries sauce. Enjoy!
Biscuits are great for breakfast/brunch, as an afternoon pick me up or as a scrumptious dessert with fresh fruits, a drizzle of berries sauce, with strawberries (as a Strawberry Double Chocolate Shortcake), or a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. How do you like to enjoy biscuits?

These are wonderfully light chocolate biscuits! Not too sweet either. Since I am usually baking for just myself, I wonder if they freeze well either before or after baking?
