Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups All-purpose flour -- (or you an use organic
spelt flour)
1 cup Medium Rye flour -- (you can mill your own
from organic rye)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caraway seed -- (optional)
1/3 cup minced fresh onion -- or 1/4 cup Freeze
Dried Onion, see note
1/2 cup powdered milk -- or sour cream powder
1/2 cup shortening -- (Tess uses Spectrum Organics)
1 cup cold water -- (use 1/4 cup more water if
you use spelt flour)
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup Dijon mustard -- (can use homemade)
1/4 cup melted butter -- or olive oil, See Note 2
NOTE: (use less if you want a less pronounced onion flavor)
NOTE 2: You can use oil, but it won't be a flaky biscuit. Use 1/3 cup
oil and mix it with the wet ingredients. It will make more of a cream
biscuit than a flaky biscuit.
Preheat oven to 450F.
In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, Medium Rye flour,
baking powder, salt, caraway seed, freeze dried onion, and sour cream powder.
Cut shortening into the flour using a pastry blender until it
resembles small peas.
In s separate bowl, combine the water, molasses and mustard.
Stir the water mixture intothe flour mixture and knead lightly.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured counter-top until it is about 3/4" thick.
Cut with a 2" biscuit cutter and place biscuits 1" apart on a heavy
baking sheet. With a pastry brush, coat the tops of the biscuits with
melted butter or olive oil.
Bake 450F 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Yield 1 dozen biscuits.
