Sour Cream, Orange, and Lavender Biscuits

 

2 cups unbleached white flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

4 or more tablespoons finely grated orange zest

2 tablespoons chopped lavender blossoms or i tablespoon chopped fresh

rosemary

about 1 1/4 cups sour cream

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil one large or two average baking

sheets.

Stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, orange zest, and lavender

in a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough sour cream to form a sticky dough.

Turn the dough onto a floured board. Knead by gently folding the dough in half a

dozen times or so until it no longer sticks to the board. Roll or press it into

a 1/2-inch thickness.

Use a cookie cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 2-inch rounds.

Place them on the prepared sheet, and bake them until lightly browned, about 12

minutes.

Freeze any unbaked biscuits on a tray or baking sheet and then transfer them to

an airtight container. When ready to bake, place them on baking sheets, let

stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, and bake as directed.

Do Ahead: Mix the dough, cut out the biscuits, and refrigerate them on the

baking sheets, covered with a cotton dish towel.

In The Morning (About 15 To 20 Minutes): Preheat the oven and bake as directed.

Makes 12 to 14 biscuits.

 

 

Don't surround yourself with yourself,

Move on back two squares,

Send an instant karma to me,

Initial it with loving care

Don't surround yourself.
