Lime Biscuits

Amaranth flour biscuits for fast.

Recipe Summary Lime Biscuits

I whipped these up one night to go with our Mexican chicken stew, but they would be equally yummy for a fun twist on strawberry shortcake! The lime flavor is refreshing but not overpowering.

Ingredients | Amaranth Biscuits

¾ cup milk

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 lime, zested

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Mix milk and lime juice together in a bowl.

Whisk flour, baking powder, lime zest, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl; mix butter into flour mixture using two knives or a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just moistened.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead a few times. Gently shape dough into a 3/4-inch thick disk; cut into 12 biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch floured cutter or the rim of a small juice glass. Reshape scraps as needed. Arrange biscuits on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

These can be made a day ahead and warmed in a 375 degree F (190 degree C) oven for 5 to10 minutes.
