The Crumb: March Biscuit of the Month

meaningful morsels to inspire your own food journey

Hey Reader -

This month's biscuit is a bit different...

And that's because it's kinda a scone.

I wanted to make something green and something involving pistachios this month and, in my opinion, scones and biscuits are too similar for me to not bring this idea to life.

** Fun Fact (aka something I learned in the midst of this recipe development) **

The only difference between biscuit and scone recipes is that half of the buttermilk used in many biscuit recipes is replaced with 1 egg.

The egg's binding ability keeps scones from falling apart even though the dough appear to be drier.

Biscuit of the Month

March's biscuit of the month, Pistachio and Lavender Scones, is really just a slightly sweet biscuit cut into a triangle instead of a square or a circle.

March's Biscuit of the Month included:

  • a slightly green-tinted scone with pistachio pieces inside
  • a lavender glaze
  • crushed pistachios on top

The recipe can be found here. The full reaction post will be live on the blog tomorrow (4/1).

If you have any thoughts/suggestions for April's biscuit, let me know.

​

Until next time,

Lena B.

Just wanted to pop in and share last month's Biscuit of the Month and give a preview of what's going on my kitchen in February. Biscuit of the Month I've been making biscuits for a while now, but haven't done a very good job of documenting the biscuit sandwiches that I've made and dozens more ideas that I have yet to make happen. That ends now....

I wrote a little more about that...
