Recipe from our Kitchen: Farmer’s Herb Biscuits

Serves 4

Ingredients:

8 oz (2 sticks) margarine or butter,
melted, and slightly cooled
4 cups All Purpose flour
2 Tbs. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
6 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced
6 Tbs. fresh chives, minced
1.5 cups water

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and minced herbs. Set it aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine cold water and the melted margarine or butter, slightly cooled. Stir with a rubber spatula until combined. It’s okay if the mixture is lumpy.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with spatula until just combined and the biscuit batter pulls away from sides of bowl.
5. Using a greased quarter-cup measuring cup, drop the batter onto an ungreased baking sheet. The biscuit shape isn’t meant to be perfect. Rustic is lovely! Space the biscuits about 1.5 inches apart.
6. Place the baking sheet in the oven, on the middle rack, and bake until the biscuit tops are golden, about 12-14 minutes.
7. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with butter or your favorite cheese.
