Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon Dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 cups Crumbled feta or blue cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh spinach with the milk until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, dried parsley, dried dill, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Pour the spinach-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

If using crumbled feta or blue cheese, gently fold it into the dough at this point for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 8

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy their fun 'moldy' appearance and delicious savory flavor!
