Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and sugar.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated carrots and grated fresh ginger, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and honey until well combined. Pour this into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing as it can make the biscuits dense.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gather the scraps, reshape, and repeat the cutting process until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey if desired.
