cheesy zucchini garlic biscuits.

i got this recipe from {emily shares} on Pinterest (of course) and decided that i didn't have 50 minutes to bake the loaf (as it was originally intended as a bread).  because the dough was soft, sticky and lumpy i knew these would work great as biscuits.

original recipe also called for cheddar cheese (which i didn;t have) and dill (which i didn't want)...so my adapted recipe....

cheesy zucchini garlic & herb biscuits: 

makes 9 large biscuits, or 18 small buscuits

3 C. flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. oregano (or Italian seasoning blend)

1 C. shredded zucchini, well-drained

1 C. shredded cheese (i used pepper-jack)

1/2 stick butter, melted

2 eggs

1 C. buttermilk (i used 3 T. buttermilk powder and 1 C. water)

1) combine all dry ingredients (including buttermilk powder).

2) add in zucchini and 3/4 C. cheese.  stir just to combine.

3) whisk butter, egg and water and add into dry mixture just until combined.  mixture will be lumpy.

4) drop by large spoonfulls onto greased cookie sheet and sprinkle tops with remaning cheese. 

5) bake in preheated oven (350 degrees) for 18 minutes, or until cooked all the way through and turning slightly golden.

these were soft and flavorful.  perfect addition to a pot of soup.
