Browned Butter Maple Vanilla Bean Biscuits
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.

These biscuits are SO fancy! They look delicious! I love biscuits, brown butter, and vanilla bean so you can’t go wrong
Wow. These sound way better than your average biscuit! I love the browned butter idea. And the maple. And vanilla bean! And with jam… yummy.
Gorgeous biscuits, Ashley. They look cute, especially with the tempting vanilla spot. I can imagine how quickly they would disappear in my house.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I am very glad to discover yours. See you soon!
Ashley, these look incredible! I’ve never seen anything like them, and am totally intrigued. I don’t know whether to have them with breakfast or dinner. Probably means I should do both
oh goodness, what a creative biscuit idea!!
Ohh I love love love these! I’m on the same page as you, Sinatra and biscuits=love : )
I love vanilla bean and although it’s more expensive than essence and possibly a bit more work to extract, it’s always worthwhile. The gorgeous flavour always comes shining through in recipes. What lovely biscuits!
Ahh vanilla beans, my heart be still!. They look like cute little scones
I love the fancied up version of this biscuit! Also, I really really want to try lip stains! I need to find a good color. I’m going to use one for my wedding
These sound awesome! You basically crammed three of my favorite things into a delicious biscuit, so what’s not to love?!
yummm! xO!

Ah, I should have remembered that biscuits = scones which makes this recipe so much better! I was imagining cookies… Love a good scone from time to time and the flavours here can’t be easily beaten.
Yumdiditty. These look seriously awesome.
Yuuuup, thiiiiiis needs to happen to my mouth.
I almost fell out of my chair when I read the title of this post. You had me at browned butter but I definitely stayed for the vanilla bean. These sound absolutely incredible!!
PS – there arent many things greater than Sinatra. I can see how these biscuits would be right along with him
