Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
• 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the chopped dill and crumbled feta cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the cold buttermilk, stirring just until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring everything together.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.

Step 8

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

If desired, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash and brush it lightly over the tops of the biscuits for a glossy finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
