Steps:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add the yolk and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add them to the egg mixture and stir just to combine. The mixture will resemble coarse crumbs. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to bring the dough together. Wrap in plastic and freeze for 1/2 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Dust the countertop with cornmeal. Using your fingertips, press the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness about 8 inches around, and cut into desired shapes. Gently run a knife under each shape to remove and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle sparingly with sugar. Bake until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the biscuits to a wire rack to cool. Arrange 2 cookies and a slice of kiwi on each of 4 dessert plates. The remaining cookies will keep, tightly covered, for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe kiwis for the best flavor. If your kiwis are not ripe, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
- To easily remove the kiwi skin, score the kiwi lengthwise with a sharp knife and then use a spoon to scoop out the fruit.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the biscuits extra flaky, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Don't overmix the dough, or the biscuits will be tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven until they are golden brown. If the biscuits are not browned, they will be doughy in the center.
Conclusion:
Kiwi biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their sweet and tangy flavor, kiwi biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting biscuit recipe, give kiwi biscuits a try!
