Instructions
Melt butter and allow it to cool slightly.
Add parsley, green onions and flour and stir with a fork to combine.
Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk or soured milk and stir with a wooden spoon to combine until it forms a ball.
Don’t over mix the batter.
Pour about ½ cup of flour out a flat surface.
Add biscuit mixture.
Add remaining ½ cup of flour over top and work flour into mixture with your fingers.
Fold in and knead slightly until you get the right consistency for biscuits.
This took me about 3-5 minutes.
Roll out 1 ½ inches thick.
Cut biscuits with a biscuit cutter and place on greased baking sheets.
Brush top and sides of biscuits with melted butter.
Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until done.
Brush biscuits with melted butter again.
Notes
NOTE: To sour milk for buttermilk, measure milk into a large measuring cup. Add about 6 tbsp. white vinegar. Allow milk to sit out about 5 minutes to sour.NOTE: You must allow the thickness of the biscuit dough to be about an inch and a half. Otherwise, you will end up with disks or hockey pucks for biscuits. They will not turn out light and fluffy.
