Ingredients
1/2
tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4
cup (1/2 stick) chilled butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1
5-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled
European-style
butter (such as Plugrá), room temperature
6
ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
1
large bunch fresh dill sprigs
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Using fingertips, rub butter into dry ingredients until coarse meal forms. Add cheese and buttermilk; stir with fork just until dough comes together (bits of cheese will be visible in dough).
2.
Pat dough out on lightly floured surface into 3/4-inch-thick round. Using floured 2-inch-diameter cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather scraps and pat dough out; cut out additional biscuits. Arrange on prepared baking sheets and bake 6 minutes. Turn sheets; bake until golden brown, about 8 minutes longer. Cool biscuits on rack. (Biscuits can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
3.
Split biscuits in half horizontally. Spread bottom halves with thin layer of butter. Divide salmon among biscuits. Top each with dill sprig and biscuit top.
