8 bisquits
ingredients
- 1 3⁄4 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder, plus
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk and lemon peel. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, coriander, baking soda, salt and pepper. Cut in butter, using your fingers, 2 knives or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in buttermilk mixture. Toss with a fork, scraping dry ingredients from bottom until just evenly moistened; do not overmix (dough should be very sticky). Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly once or twice with floured hands. Pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness, about 10 inches in diameter.
- Dip a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter into flour and cut out biscuits, dipping cutter into flour before cutting each biscuit and using a straight in-and-out motion. Gather and re-pat scraps; cut out remaining biscuits. Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

I tagged this recipe in Photo Tag because it sounded so interesting. I made them this morning to use as breakfast sandwiches and Yummmmm! The biscuit flavors work beautifully with the ham for a great treat and the egg and cheese also blend well with the coriander. Thanks wicked for a wonderful breakfast and the very tasty biscuit recipe :D. I made a half amount and got 4 big sandwich sizes biscuits, I used 1 cup of white flour and 3/4 cup of whole wheat.
