For the best results, use very cold butter and buttermilk. This will help create a flaky, tender biscone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough biscones. Mix just until the dough comes together. For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. Biscones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. (5-7 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Gently pour the cold buttermilk into the flour mixture. Stir with a fork or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be shaggy and slightly sticky. (2-3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick circle. (2 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the circle into 4 wedges, then cut each wedge in half to create 8 biscones. (2 minutes)
07
Step
1 mins
Arrange the biscones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (1 minute)
08
Step
1 mins
For a golden crust, lightly brush the tops of the biscones with milk or cream. Sprinkle with a little extra sugar, if desired. (1 minute)
09
Step
22 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscones are lightly golden brown and cooked through. (18-22 minutes)
10
Step
5 mins
Let the biscones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (or serve warm!). (5 minutes)
