Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 3/4 cup buttermilk

• 1/2 cup cooked onion, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Herb Butter:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Make the Biscuits:

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

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

3. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add the vegetable oil and mix well.

5. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the cooked onion, sage, thyme, and minced garlic. The dough should be somewhat sticky, but if it’s too dry, add a little more buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time.

7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

8. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Make the Herb Butter:
10. While the biscuits are baking, mix the melted butter, sage, thyme, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
11. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the herb butter for an added layer of flavor.

Servings and Timing
This recipe makes about 12 biscuits. Prep time is 15 minutes, bake time is 12-15 minutes, so you’ll have these flavorful biscuits ready in about 30 minutes.

Variations
I like to:

• Add a handful of grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan) to the dough for an extra cheesy twist.

• Substitute the onion and garlic with shallots for a milder flavor.

• For a more traditional stuffing flavor, fold in some finely chopped, cooked sausage or crumbled bacon.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to restore their softness and crisp edges.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the dough ahead of time, shape it into biscuits, and freeze them before baking. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them straight into the oven from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

Can I freeze these biscuits after baking?
Yes, you can freeze the baked biscuits! Once they’ve cooled, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and they will keep for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.

Can I make these without buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk and a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to mimic the acidity of buttermilk.

Conclusion
Stuffing Biscuits bring all the savory goodness of stuffing into a warm, flaky biscuit. Infused with fresh herbs, garlic, and a buttery finish, these biscuits make the perfect side dish for your holiday meals or any comfort food dinner.
