As the butter melts during baking, the layers of dough separate to make light, quick and easy biscuits. Green onions add a flavourful fresh lift.
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Preparation
In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole wheat flours, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper. Using pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly. Pour all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the milk over top; sprinkle with cheese and onions. Stir with fork to form soft ragged dough.
Turn out onto floured surface. With lightly floured hands, knead gently until dough comes together. Pat or roll out to 1/2-inch (1 cm) thickness. Using 2-1/4-inch (5.5 cm) floured cutter, cut out rounds, pressing scraps and cutting out final biscuit. Place on parchment paper–lined or flour–dusted baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining milk. Bake in 400°F
(200°C) oven until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool.
