Miso Butter and White Pepper Drop Biscuits
Ingredients
168 grams soft butter
15 grams sugar
15 grams BP
7 1/2 grams Salt
4 1/2 grams BS
450 grams flour
2 Cups buttermilk
2TBSP Shiro Miso Paste
1 TBSP Ground White Pepper
Directions
Preparing the Miso Butter
In a stand mixer, beat the butter, miso paste and white pepper until incorporated
Form into a tight ball using plastic wrap and freeze solid
Once the butter is hardened, using a cheese grater or a food processor with grater attachment, grate the butter
Place the grated butter back in the freezer
Biscuits
Measure out all your dry ingredients (everything but the buttermilk and butter) and whisk together
Add in the frozen butter strips and whisk in with the dry ingredients, allows the longer shreds to break up into the flour
At this point you can store this mix in the fridge until you’re ready to bake
When you’re ready to bake preheat the oven to 400ºF
Line a baking sheep with parchment paper
Add most of the buttermilk (3/4 of it) and quickly and roughly fold it in (David), add the remainder until it forms a messy paste
Don’t overmix it here you want it to be a rather rough texture
Using a scoop (I like an ice cream scoop) drop around of the mix onto a baking sheet with parchment paper
Save a little room as the biscuits will expand slightly
Place the biscuits in the oven and turn the baking sheet around after 10 minutes
After turning allow to bake for another 10 minutes, check periodically
The biscuits should be golden brown
