Easter Bunny’s Favourite Biscuits
Prep time:10 min
Total time:22 min
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Longo’s Organic All Purpose Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp each baking soda and salt
1 small carrot, peeled
1/3 cup finely diced hothouse red bell pepper
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup Longo’s Essentials Country Churned Salted Butter, well chilled
2/3 cup plain yogourt
1/3 cup Longo’s Organic 2% Milk
Directions
- •Stir flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
- •Use the fine side of box grater to grate carrot (about 1/2 cup). Add to flour mixture along with red pepper and onions. Use the coarse side of box grater to grate butter into flour mixture. Stir well to distribute vegetables and butter.
- •Whisk yogourt with milk and pour over flour; stir with a fork until a ragged dough forms.
- •Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and knead 3 to 4 times to bring dough together. Pat into a circle about 7 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges.
- •Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
A dash of advice
Tips: Double the batch, dividing dough into 2 circles for 16 biscuits. These biscuits make a great savoury shortcake, smothered in leftover chopped roast beef and gravy.
Biscuits are always best served fresh but will hold at room temperature for up to 2 days. If making extra or ahead, freeze unbaked biscuits on a baking tray then transfer to an airtight container. Bake from frozen, adding a minute or 2 extra to the bake time.
