Time 40m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons za'atar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups cold milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of the za'atar, the sugar and salt in a medium bowl using a whisk. Using a bowl scraper or your fingers, mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal; using your fingers will create a more cake-like texture. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick disc and cut out biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Make sure you don't twist the cutter otherwise you'll squish the sides and the biscuit won't rise. Knead the scraps together, re-roll and cut out biscuits until all the dough has been used.
  • Place the biscuits bottom-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the vegetable oil with the remaining 1 tablespoon za'atar and brush the mixture on each biscuit. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made a double batch of these biscuits and froze half of them. They reheated perfectly in the oven.

I'm not a huge fan of nutmeg, so I omitted it from the recipe. The biscuits were still delicious.

I've made these biscuits with both white and brown sugar and they're both delicious. Brown sugar gives them a slightly richer flavor.

I love the way these biscuits look with the sparkling sugar on top. They're almost too pretty to eat!

I added a little bit of grated ginger to the dough and it gave the biscuits a really nice zing.

I've made these biscuits several times now and they're always a hit. I love the way the spices warm up my kitchen while they're baking.

I followed the recipe exactly and my biscuits turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not usually a big fan of spiced biscuits, but these ones were surprisingly good. The spices were subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

I've tried many spiced biscuit recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg really takes it to the next level.

These spiced biscuits were a delight! They had the perfect balance of spices and sweetness, and the texture was amazing - crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again!
