Yield: 8 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.

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cocoa powder and salt together in a food processor. Pulse to mix.

  7. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin to a thickness of about one inch.
  8. 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.

  10. Reform the scrap pieces and roll out again and cut more biscuits until you use all of the dough.

  12. Sprinkle the course raw sugar, this step is optional.
  13. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
