In the grand scheme of things I really, truly love, biscuits are right up there with Sinatra and lip stain. In case you don’t know, that’s like major.
Obviously they don’t surpass my love level for say… Caribbean vacations or George Clooney, but they’re not far behind.
Today I got a little fancy in my biscuit adventure.
Enter: browned butter, maple syrup, and vanilla beans – instant biscuit upgrade!
A little bit sweet, a little bit salty, all the way amazing.
Browned Butter Maple Vanilla Bean Biscuits
Makes 10-12 biscuits depending on cutter size (I used a 2 inch cutter and got 12)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter, browned and separated
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 vanilla bean, scraped
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Sift flour and baking soda together. Stir in salt and sugar. Fold in 1 cup of cream, 2 tablespoons of browned butter, and all the maple syrup. If the dough is hard to work, slowly mix in the extra 2 tablespoons of cream. Turn dough out on a floured surface (I always use parchment paper) and roll or press down, so the dough is about 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds, I used a 2 inch cutter. Place biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush tops with remaining browned butter. Place in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Serve warm, or flash freeze and use later.
I heart biscuits so much and these sound deeelicious! I’m planning a Christmas brunch menu and these would be a wonderful addition! yum =)
I usually make biscuits using buttercream and i’m very intrigued by the addition of cream. And the browned butter, oh, how I love it
I’m so late to discover vanilla bean, but I tried using it for the first time this year and ever since then I’m in love with real vanilla flavor! These biscuits sound amazing. I really want to make them on my own!
Whoa girl, good call. What did you slather your biscuit in? That looks equally yummers!
Beautiful biscuits! They must be really fragrant and delicious.
Cheers,

I think this shoots you to biscuit queen status…maybe with a biscuit crown?
well what could surpass george clooney? i ask you! 😉
biscuits are one of life’s wonderful things. the specs of vanilla bean are so pretty in yours!
Those do sound amazing! Love how creative you got with them 🙂
Sweet biscuits? Whoa. I can dig it.
These would be perfect with some whipped cream on top of that jam. Just to make it even more deadly and delicious.
