Great dinner biscuits warm from the oven. Go nicely with soup & salad or the main course. If using self-rising flour omit baking powder & salt. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 cups flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons caraway seeds |
1/2 teaspoon sage leaf, crumbled |
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup 2% low-fat milk |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, caraway seed, sage, mustard, baking powder, and salt; mix well with a fork.
4. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender or a fork until dough resembles coarse meal.
5. Gently stir in most of the milk until well blended (if dough is not soft & easy to roll, add just enough milk to make it pliable; too much milk will make dough sticky, but the biscuits will be dry if you don't add enough).
6. Gather dough into a ball, and knead gently for about 30 seconds on a lightly floured surface.
7. Roll out dough into a circle about 1/2 thick.
8. Cut using a floured 1 1/2 biscuit cutter or cookie cutter.
9. Gather up scraps of dough and re-roll and cut out remaining biscuits.
10. Place on greased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes (until golden brown).
12. Mix garlic powder in butter.
13. Serve biscuits hot with garlic butter.
