Buttermilk-Teff Biscuits with Green Onions

Makes about 12 biscuits
Time 30 min

The addition of whole grain flour adds flavor and texture to these otherwise traditional Southern-style biscuits. Buttermilk helps to tenderize the dough, as well as provides that characteristic "twang" that contrasts the otherwise rich flavors in the finished product.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gather it into a ball and knead once or twice.


Press down until dough is about 1/2-inch thick.


Cut out biscuits with a round 2 1/2-inch cutter or the top of a glass.


Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.


Press scraps together and cut out more biscuits.


Brush tops of biscuits with milk; if you like, sprinkle tops with a pinch of Parmesan.
