Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.75 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 0.5 cup shredded carrot
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• 0.5 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded carrot, parsley, chives, rosemary, and grated cheddar cheese (if using), distributing them evenly throughout the dry mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it into a cohesive shape. Pat it into a 1-inch thick disc.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out round biscuits, pressing straight down and lifting without twisting. Re-roll the scraps if needed to cut out more biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart for softer sides or further apart for crisper edges.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with butter or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy the fresh garden flavors in every bite!
