🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 0.5 cup shredded carrot
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• 0.5 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the shredded carrot, parsley, chives, rosemary, and grated cheddar cheese (if using), distributing them evenly throughout the dry mixture.

5. Gradually add the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.

6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it into a cohesive shape. Pat it into a 1-inch thick disc.

7. Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out round biscuits, pressing straight down and lifting without twisting. Re-roll the scraps if needed to cut out more biscuits.

8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart for softer sides or further apart for crisper edges.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.

10. Serve warm, optionally with butter or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy the fresh garden flavors in every bite!
