  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup wholewheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk for brushing
  • 2 teaspoons large grain sugar
  • Savory Yogurt and Fruit (bacon on the side)
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon quinua
  • 1 teaspoon flaxseeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon poppyseeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup prunes, figs or other dried dark fruit, sliced
  • 1 pear, sliced

Method

  • set oven to 400 degrees
  • Chop rosemary and toss into a saucepan with buttermilk (or milk with a teaspoon on apple cider vinegar). Simmer and then let cool for about 10 minutes
  • In a milking bowl combine flours, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and lemon zest. Cut in the butter with 2 knives or a pastry cutter, until the mixture has evenly cut crumbs. Add the lemon juice.
  • slowly, with a spatula, stir the buttermilk and rosemary mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is evenly moist and forms a wet dough.
  • make small to medium sized balls with your palms, and squish onto a floured cookie sheet about 1/2 inch thick.
  • *(optional) brush with milk and dust with sugar
  • bake for 12-17 minutes, until lightly browned ontop
  • spoon 1/4 - 1/3 cup yogurt on each plate, dust with cinnamon
  • toast all the seeds in a small saucepan, or in a toaster oven, until lightly browned and aromatic.
  • toss seeds, and sliced fruit on top of the yogurt.
  • Serve each dish with a biscuit, 2 pieces cooked bacon and the yogurt. I sometimes add a drizzle of honey on top of it all.
