Scale
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shredded zucchini
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 6 tbsp chilled butter (cut into pieces)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Preparing the zucchini:
- In a bowl mix together the zucchini and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside. Let rest for about 15 minutes. After this time, squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini. I put mine in a colander and pressed down with paper towel.
Preparing the biscuits:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- Using a pastry cutter, cut in the chilled butter, until it looks like coarse meal, with some pea sized butter pieces remaining.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Then stir in the squeezed out zucchini.
- Slowly add the buttermilk, and mix using a fork, but don’t over mix.
- Then turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead into a ball. It is supposed to be lumpy – that’s what makes them so buttery and crumbly!
- Then flatten the ball into a square disc shape, about 1 inch thick.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough square into 12 pieces.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
