“These flaky yeast biscuits—speckled with carrot, parsley and green onion—smell wonderful while baking. So it’s hard to resist eating one right from the oven,” notes Kerry Dority of Camdenton, Missouri.

  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 15 Servings
20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded carrot
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small saucepan, heat buttermilk and water to 120°-130°. Add buttermilk mixture, carrot, parsley and onion to yeast mixture; stir just until moistened.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until a soft dough forms, about 6-8 minutes. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 15 biscuits.

Editor's Note: Warmed buttermilk will appear curdled.
