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)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for tomato salad)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly cracked)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gently stir in the milk until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together.

Step 6

Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds.

Step 7

Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them.

Step 8

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the tomato salad by combining the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat.

Step 10

To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half and spoon a generous amount of the tomato salad onto the bottom half of each biscuit.

Step 11

Top with the other half of the biscuit or serve open-faced. For an extra flair, garnish with additional chopped basil before serving.
