St. Patrick's Day Biscuits

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Parsley makes these biscuits a great choice for a St. Patrick's Day dinner.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons caraway seed
  • 1/4 cup fresh minced parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon water

Preparation:

Sift together into a bowl, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add caraway seed, parsley, and buttermilk. Stir or toss with a fork until dry ingredients are just moistened. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 6 times. Roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness and cut out with a 2-inch round cutter. Place dough rounds on ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Using scissors, snip a 1-inch cross about 1/4 inch deep in top of each biscuit. Beat egg yolks with the water; brush mixture on each biscuit. Bake at 450° for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot, with butter.
Makes about 18 biscuits.
