Sesame Cream Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

3/4 cup	46g / 1.6oz	Unbleached white flour
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons	30ml	Grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
4 tablespoons	60ml	Cold unsalted butler - cut small chunks
1/2 cup	118ml	Heavy cream or milk
		Optional
2 tablespoons	30ml	Spicy Sesame Seed Topper - (see recipe)
		= (or toasted sesame seeds)

Recipe Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the white and whole wheat flours, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the heavy cream or milk just until a soft dough is formed. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for about 1 minute. Roll the dough out about 1/2 inch thick. With a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut the dough into 8 rounds.

Arrange the biscuits in a circle around the outside of a 12-inch round glass plate. Sprinkle with sesame topping or seeds. Place the plate onto an inverted microwave dish with sides. Microwave on medium for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, rotating and rearranging twice during cooking. Place on a wire rack and let stand for 3 minutes.

This recipe yields 8 biscuits.
