These rich little biscuits are a sweet and fluffy biscuit that are a perfect accompaniment to my Beef Stew with Butternut Squash and Fennel. By rich, I mean an already tasty biscuit that is dunked in a bowl of melted butter and fresh herbs. Once you taste these biscuits you will not be able to put them down. They are Butterlicious!
Fresh Herb Tea Biscuits
1 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. fresh minced thyme
1/2 tsp. minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Preheat oven 400 degrees. Thoroughly cream the butter and honey. Add the dry ingredients, then the milk 1 tablespoon at a time to form a dough. Turn out on slightly floured board and gather the dough together to make a 1/2 inch round circle, cut with 1 1/2 inches wide biscuit cutter or as small as you have. Bake for 10-15 minutes. In a small tall bowl (I use my 2 cup measuring cup) mix butter and herbs; set aside. Take biscuits out of the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Dunk in the butter mixture and serve immediately.
Note: Biscuits can be made ahead of time and heated in the oven and then dunked before serving.
Gosh these look so good, I love biscuits!
ReplyDeleteyum can't beat fresh biscuits
ReplyDeleteNow I've told you before that I cannot do biscuits! They never turn out right but you have never steered me wrong in the past so I'm going to try these, if they come out like hockey pucks I'm mailing them to you to use as doorstops. Consider it an early Christmas present.
