Cranberry, Orange & Sage Buttermilk Biscuits

1. Preheat the oven to 425F
2. To a food processor add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, zest, sage and cranberries. Pulse until well combined.
3. With the processor on, drop in your cubes of butter until mixture looks like course meal. Turn off immediately.
4. Add your flour mixture to a large bowl and pour in your buttermilk. Gently mix until a dough is formed. Do not over mix.
5. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring the dough together. Press gently into a rectangle, fold in half, turn and repeat. Do this 3 times to create flaky layers.
6. Finally press into a large rectangle 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits into 9 squares and place on your baking sheet.
7. Mix the 1/4 cup of buttermilk with maple syrup and thyme. Gently brush the tops of the biscuits with the buttermilk mix.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops appear dry and the bottoms are golden brown.
9. Serve with butter, cranberry sauce or jam.
