Herb & Cheese Biscuits

"There are lots of biscuit recipes but the savoury flavour of fresh herbs make these unique! I've itemized the ingredients from Harrowsmith Country Life but use whatever herbs appeal to you ........ or whatever you have in the pantry. Last night, I used basil, parsley & green onions. BUT, if you're forced to use dried herbs, just cut the quantity in half."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 375F & line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl; stir in herbs & 1 cup of the cheese.
  • Whisk egg & milk together in a small bowl; pour over the dry ingredients & stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; pat into a square that is approximately 8" and 2" thick.
  • Slice into 8 rectangular pieces about 4" x 2" & transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Brush with a little milk & sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake in oven until golden brown, approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Although you can serve these at room temperature, I prefer them warm!

  1. Apologies to the folks who made these, but I found them really unfortunate. I'm meticulous when it comes to following a recipe for the first time; it's possible I made an error somewhere, but I don't think I did. These came out of the oven bland and mealy--frankly, they were inedible. The fresh herbs were both too intense and at the same time not flavorful enough, and the dough was dry, tasteless, and tough. Fresh herbs are too expensive to waste on something that doesn't work, so I'm not sure I would try these again.
     
  2. Great biscuits! Biscuits have been a recent addition to our menu and am loving how they can have a bowl of soup or chili at lunch seem so extra special! I am especially fond of chives, parsley and basil. These make up beautifully and have met the taste test all around, along with requests that more be made! Thank you CountryLady.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
