Coriander Biscuits Recipes

PISTACHIO & CORIANDER SEED BISCUITS

Steps:

• Beat the sugar with the butter until pale and creamy. Add the egg, flour, ground pistachios, ground coriander seeds and 1/2 tsp salt and beat to a smooth paste. Put in a piping bag or cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 2 hrs.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. Pipe (or spoon) 5cm lengths about 1.5 cm wide onto the paper, leaving a few cm between each biscuit. Garnish with the chopped pistachios and whole coriander seeds and bake for 10-15 mins until golden at the edges. Turn off the oven and leave the biscuits inside for 20-30 mins, then remove and leave for 5-10 mins until so crisp they slide off the sheet. Cool fully before serving. Try pairing with our strawberry labneh, or you can keep in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

CORIANDER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk and lemon peel. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, coriander, baking soda, salt and pepper. Cut in butter, using your fingers, 2 knives or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in buttermilk mixture. Toss with a fork, scraping dry ingredients from bottom until just evenly moistened; do not overmix (dough should be very sticky). Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly once or twice with floured hands. Pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness, about 10 inches in diameter.
• Dip a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter into flour and cut out biscuits, dipping cutter into flour before cutting each biscuit and using a straight in-and-out motion. Gather and re-pat scraps; cut out remaining biscuits. Transfer biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet and bake, rotating pan halfway through, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
