Pomegranate Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried Pomegranate
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 6 tbsp. Sugar + extra for sprinkling
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. Baking soda Sodium bicarbonate
- 1 Egg lightly mixed
- 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil melted + for greasing
- 1 1/2 cups Cold Buttermilk
Instructions
-
Put your dried Pomegranate in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes, and then strain the fruit and discard the water. The fruit will be plumper, juicier, and softer. To give your fruit some extra flavor, swap the water for fruit juice or liquor, like rum, bourbon, or brandy.
-
In a large bowl, add flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and soda, then mix. Drop in dried pomegranate and dust them with flour.
-
Make a well and add lightly mixed egg and melted (but not hot) coconut oil and pour cold buttermilk. You can use warm milk too.
-
With a wooden spoon, mix to combine, then flour work surface (board, countertop etc.) and place dough on top.
-
Knead for a minute or so and form a ball. Roll it out, it should be thicker and with a cookie cutter or even glass and press on the dough. Knead again, roll and cut into biscuits.
-
Preheat oven on 375F/190C, grease a baking sheet, sprinkle biscuits with extra sugar. Bake for 25 minutes or until they are golden.
-
When done, pulled them out of the oven and cover with clean cotton kitchen towel.
Recipe Notes
When I am making this type of biscuits usually I use warm milk and you can too if you do not have buttermilk.
Also, yogurt or sour cream can work really well just make sure to add enough liquid.
The dough still needs to be soft and bit sticky rather than hard. You can use any dry fruit on hand, or even mix them together.
You can use any dried fruit.
