Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Place biscuits on baking sheet and place in oven for time indicated on bag/box minus 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and using a pastry brush, brush egg white on tops of each biscuit. Place 1 parsley leaf on top of each biscuit and 'glue' in place with more brushed on egg white. Make sure they are laying flat on each biscuit.
- Place back in oven for 5 more minutes then remove. Allow to cool for a minute or 2, then enjoy.
- The parsley leaves are used to look like little 3 leaf clovers. I made these for St. Patty's day '07 to add as a fun side dish for the Irish potato soup I made. (I'll be adding that recipe later on--it's delish). happy baking :-).
- ps. If you are lucky enough to have an international store local to you, Irish butter goes great with these. We did and it's wonderful--very lite texture and creamier than regular butter.

CUT-OUT BISCUITS
We love these super flakey, buttery biscuits. To create the beautiful layers, fold the dough over itself 5 times, then simply punch out and bake. Also make sure not to overwork your ingredients!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Pulse in the diced butter just a few times, until it is in pea-size pieces.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the milk or buttermilk until the dough just comes together but is not fully combined. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, then gather the dough together and pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (5 by 10 inches). Fold the rectangle in half and pat until 3/4 inch thick again. Repeat the folding and patting process 4 more times, ending with a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle (5 by 10 inches).
- Dip a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter in flour and cut out 8 biscuits, going all the way to the edge of the rectangle (don't leave any space between the biscuits when you cut). Gather the scraps together, kneading as little as possible; pat until 3/4 inch thick and cut out about 2 more biscuits. (Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares.)
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased, unlined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with milk or buttermilk. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Mash butter with dill, capers, lemon zest and juice.
- Puree butter with mango chutney and curry powder.
- Puree butter with maple syrup and adobo sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Lightly flour your work station and preheat oven as directed on package. Separate biscuits Roll out each biscuit slightly with floured rolling pin.
- 2. Use a floured shamrock cookie cutter to make shapes. Bake according to directions.
- 3. In a small bowl, blend 1 to 2 drops of food coloring with cream cheese. Serve with warm biscuits.
Tips:
- Use cold butter: This will help the biscuits be flaky and tender. If you don't have time to chill the butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before grating it.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Roll the dough out evenly: This will help the biscuits bake evenly. If the dough is not rolled out evenly, some parts of the biscuits will be overcooked while others are undercooked.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp knife: This will help prevent the biscuits from tearing.
- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the biscuits are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Shamrock biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and they can be dressed up or down depending on your preferences. Whether you serve them with butter, honey, or your favorite savory topping, these biscuits are sure to be a hit.
