Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400F
- 2. In a bowl combine dry ingredients (flours, wheat germ, baking powder, herbs, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper).
- 3. Melt butter in fry pan, saute onions until soft but not browned. Combine onions (and butter) with dry ingredients.
- 4. Add zucchini and combine.
- 5. Add eggs, water and greek yogurt and combine.
- 6. Add cheddar cheese and combine.
- 7. On a pre-greased (I use PAM) baking sheet arrange spoonfuls of mixture in golf ball sized portions, allowing enough space for the batter to spread approximately twice the size of the original ball.
- 8. Bake for 40 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Makes approximately 36 biscuits.
Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini is more flavorful and has a better texture than zucchini that has been stored for a long time. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini distribute evenly throughout the biscuits and prevent them from being too dense.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the biscuits more flavor than a mild cheddar cheese.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. This will help the biscuits rise and become golden brown.
Conclusion:
Zucchini cheddar biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They're perfect for potlucks, picnics, or lunchboxes. With their combination of sweet zucchini and sharp cheddar cheese, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
