There\u2019s a pattern emerging. It all starts with me cleaning my kitchen. And I mean deep cleaning. The kind where the gloves go on and the stove comes apart. I should mention that this doesn\u2019t take place very often, but when it does it\u2019s always the same thing. As soon as I\u2019m done I get this nagging feeling. It\u2019s clean. It\u2019s too<\/em> clean. Look at those sparkling countertops just begging to be covered in flour and dough.<\/em><\/p>\n Some part of me can\u2019t stand a clean kitchen. Is that weird? It\u2019s nice and all; I just need to mess it back up as soon as possible. So since I completed one of these deep cleaning sessions yesterday afternoon, then went out for dinner\u2026 the moment I woke up this morning I knew what had to be done.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Biscuits.<\/p>\n Not your average biscuits either. This recipe calls for an amount of butter that should be illegal. When I first saw it I had to do a double take. Two and a half<\/em> sticks of butter?! Even the great Ina Garten caps it at 1 1\/2<\/a>. Without doing much math you can tell these biscuits are about as fatty as it gets, but I like to pretend the fresh herbs make it healthier.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve made these herb biscuits several times now with different combinations of rosemary, thyme, chives, sage, and parsley. All were delicious. This morning the only fresh herb I had was parsley, but I also had scallions, which sounded intriguing. The overwhelming urge to flour up my countertops was greater than my desire to go to the grocery store, so I went with it, and I\u2019m glad I did!<\/p>\n Side note: Another thing I didn\u2019t have on hand was buttermilk, but there\u2019s an easy solution for that. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for several minutes until it curdles. Poof! Makeshift buttermilk!<\/em><\/p>\n Scallions work really well in this since they have a sharper flavor than herbs, which helps to cut through the richness of all those sticks of butter. The resulting biscuit is a tower of light, flaky layers that serve as a comforting accompaniment to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nHerb Scallion Biscuits<\/span><\/h2>\n
