Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 1 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 cups Crumbled feta or blue cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh spinach with the milk until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, dried parsley, dried dill, and garlic powder.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the spinach-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using crumbled feta or blue cheese, gently fold it into the dough at this point for an extra burst of flavor.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy their fun 'moldy' appearance and delicious savory flavor!
