I never thought I'd be so passionate about a biscuit, but here we are! These aren't just any biscuits; they're Kimchi Biscuits. A delightful fusion of classic Southern comfort food with the bold, spicy flavors of Korean kimchi. My journey with kimchi started years ago during a trip to Seoul. I fell head-over-heels for its complexity and how it added a zing to everything. Naturally, I had to find a way to bring that magic into my everyday cooking, and boy, am I glad I did!

These biscuits are flaky, cheesy, and have just the right amount of kick. The kimchi adds a savory depth that will leave you craving more. I remember the first time I made these for my friends. They were skeptical at first, but one bite was all it took! Now, it is a must-have for all brunch get-togethers. Trust me; you'll be the star of your next potluck.

What’s more, you can serve them with anything! I personally love them with a simple fried egg for breakfast, alongside a hearty stew for dinner, or even as a snack all on their own. Plus, they’re surprisingly easy to make. No need to be a baking expert. This recipe is foolproof, I promise! So, lets get baking, shall we?

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Get Started: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I always say, a little parchment paper saves a lot of scrubbing later!
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make sure everything's evenly distributed; you don't want a pocket of salt in one biscuit!
  3. Incorporate the Butter: Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Add it to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The colder the butter, the flakier the biscuits will be! Trust me on this one.
  4. Add Cheese and Kimchi: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped kimchi. Gently mix until evenly distributed. If the kimchi is too wet, squeeze out some of the excess liquid before adding it.
  5. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are okay. It's better to be slightly under-mixed than over-mixed!
  6. Turn Out the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Cut Out Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter (or a knife) to cut out biscuits. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, just use a knife to cut squares. They'll taste just as good, I promise!
  8. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Keep an eye on them; ovens can vary!
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy! Maybe with a bit of extra butter or a dollop of sour cream? Yes, please!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
  • If you like a spicier biscuit, use a spicier kimchi or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough.
