Instructions
Preparing the Biscuit Dough
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add the cherrywood wood chips to generate the smoke.
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix them well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. You want the butter to be pea-sized throughout the dough.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be shaggy and slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, adding a touch more flour if it's too sticky, but remember, we want it to be a bit sticky.
Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cutting and Smoking the Biscuits
Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out your biscuits. Dip the cutter or glass in flour to prevent sticking, and press it straight down without twisting to get those perfect biscuit edges.
Place the cut biscuits on a wire rack or a baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Once your smoker has reached 225°F and is producing a good amount of cherrywood smoke, carefully place the wire rack or baking sheet with the biscuits inside.
Close the smoker and let the biscuits smoke for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; we're aiming for a golden-brown color and a delicious smoky aroma.
After the biscuits are done, remove them from the smoker and let them cool for a few minutes. They're going to be smoky and fragrant - you won't be able to resist!
Enjoying the Smoky Goodness
Serve your smoked cherrywood biscuits warm, fresh from the smoker. Slather them with honey butter or serve them with your favorite meal. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these biscuits are going to steal the show!
