Goat Cheese Biscuits

1 ½ lbs. flour
2 T. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ c. sugar
1 ½ T. chopped rosemary
6 oz. cold butter
8 oz. goat cheese
2 c. milk
2 T. lemon juice
Milk
Coarse salt


Mix flour, baking powder, kosher salt, sugar and rosemary in a medium bowl. Cut in butter and goat cheese with a pastry blender.  Add lemon juice to milk, then mix into dry ingredients until dough comes together.

Roll out dough 1” thick on lightly floured surface.  Fold in fourths:  bring ends of dough into middle and fold over once more.  Reroll 1” thick.  (If dough doesn’t retain shape, chill or add more flour.)  Fold in thirds like a business letter.  Roll out 1” thick again and trim edges of dough.  Cut into 2” squares, place 1” apart on baking sheet covered with Silpat.  Brush with additional milk, sprinkle with coarse salt.  Bake in preheated 400 degree F. oven about 25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.  Cool on rack.  Can freeze; heat frozen biscuits for 15 minutes in 350 degree F. oven.
