Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Melted butter for brushing
Other
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup prepared stuffing, cooled
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper to evenly distribute leavening agents and spices.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This helps create a flaky biscuit texture.
- Incorporate Stuffing and Parsley: Gently fold in the prepared stuffing and chopped fresh parsley, ensuring an even mixture without overworking the dough.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour this liquid mixture into the flour-stuffing mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender biscuit.
- Shape Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. This thickness ensures even baking and a good rise.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- Brush with Butter: Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter to promote a golden, flavorful crust when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the stuffing biscuits warm for the best flavor and texture.
