• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in 1/2 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold the dough over onto itself a few times to create layers, then flatten it gently back to 1-inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the biscuits using a 2.5-inch round cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 9

While the biscuits are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 11

Add the chopped mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 12

Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, cooking for another minute.

Step 13

Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and then the milk, ensuring no lumps form.

Step 14

Add the soy sauce, ground black pepper, and dried thyme; let it simmer until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 15

Remove from heat and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 16

Serve the warm biscuits with the mushroom gravy poured generously over them.
