Cranberry, Brie and Biscuit Appetizer

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda, and whisk until combined. Using a fork, pastry blender or your hands, add butter pieces to the flour and mix until coarse little crumbles remain. Toss in 1/4 cup cranberries and 1/3 of the diced brie. Add buttermilk and stir with a spoon until just combined, not overmixing. Use your hands if needed to bring the dough together.

3. Press dough on a sheet of parchment paper or cutting board until it is an inch thick.

4. Then cut the dough into squares.

5. Melt 1 stick of butter in the bottom of a pie plate. Place the squares of dough in the pie plate as snug as you can. You may have some extra dough.

6. Sprinkle the rest of the brie and cranberries over top.

7. Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

8. Serve with toothpicks and napkins.
