INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add butter, and cut into flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it forms pea-sized pieces. Stir in sage until well combined. Stir in enough buttermilk until flour mixture is moist and forms a dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface, and knead gently until the dough comes together, about 15 seconds, being careful not to overwork the dough. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough into an 8-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Cut out biscuits, without twisting, using a lightly floured 2 3/4-inch round biscuit cutter. Gather scraps, and repeat rolling and cutting process, being careful not to overwork the dough. Place biscuits, pressing together gently, in an ungreased 8- by 2-inch round baking pan in a circular pattern with 7 biscuits around the outer edge of the pan and one in the center. Brush each biscuit lightly with buttermilk. Top each biscuit with a small sage leaf. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm. Makes 8 biscuits.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
