Ingredients
✓ 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
✓ 1 cup all-purpose flour
✓ ½ cup cold unsalted butter
✓ ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
✓ 1 tsp baking powder
✓ ½ tsp baking soda
✓ ½ tsp salt
✓ ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (chives, thyme)
✓ ¼ cup buttermilk
Instructions
✓ Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
✓ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
✓ Add the cold butter and, using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
✓ Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs.
✓ In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and grated zucchini. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
✓ Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps once to make more.
✓ Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
✓ Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are risen and cooked through.
✓ Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
To ensure the zucchini is properly drained, place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and press gently to remove excess moisture. These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
