Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cake flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup low fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
Preparation
- Preheat oven on Bake or Convection Bake at 400˚F with the rack in the middle position. Line baking pan with parchment paper; reserve.
- Put the flours, cream of tartar and baking soda into the work bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Process for 10 to 15 seconds to combine well. Add the sugar, salt and pepper and process for an additional 5 seconds. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 6 to 8 pulses. While pulsing, slowly add the buttermilk until just incorporated, about 2 to 3 pulses.
- Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently and carefully knead 2 to 3 times to ensure the dough is fully mixed. Form into a log and cut into 8 equal pieces. Place on the prepared pan, leaving a bit of space between them to ensure even baking.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and brush liberally with the melted butter. Serve immediately.
