Ok, I'll admit that I'm on a Halloween binge and having a bunch of fun! These aren't realy moldy. For regular biscuits just leave out the coloring. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
2 scallions, thinly sliced |
2 cups flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup butter |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
green food coloring |
1 tablespoon melted butter |
1 tablespoon buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F
2. Sauté the scallions in 3 tablespoons butter until they are soft. Set the scallions aside and let cool.
3. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the 1/2 cup butter into small pieces and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a small bowl mix together the 3/4 cup buttermilk and the green food coloring, until it is a very dark shade of green.
5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the scallions and the green buttermilk.
6. Mix until a very sticky dough just holds together.
7. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 20 times.
8. Pat out until 1/2 inch thick.
9. Cut with a 2 inch cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
10. Mix the melted butter and buttermilk and brush on the biscuits.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
