Munchie Monday: Quick and Easy Herbed Biscuits

Biscuits can be so comforting.  We like Eggs Goldenrod on biscuits.  I have posted about cheesey biscuits.  This time I made some herbed biscuits.  They were certainly edible.  The recipe makes 9-12 nice biscuits.  There are only three left!

Quick and Easy Herbed Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon parsley
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  Add the shortening and cut in well.  Add the milk and cream and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon until mixed together.  Put a little whole wheat flour on your counter and put the dough on it.  Knead together 3-4  times then push the dough together into a nice fat rectangle.  Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.

Place on baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.  Check to see if they are done.  Your oven may be different than mine.  I had to bake another 2 minutes for 14 minutes total.

These were good right out of the oven with butter on them.  They were particularly good with the Eggs Goldenrod on top.  Would have been superlative if I had had life enough to make some sautéed kale and broccoli salad.  Maybe next time.
