"To cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of integrity, and faith,"

Laurie Colwin's Parmesan Sesame Biscuits

"No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the
kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus
of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers."
~ Laurie Colwin

Laurie Colwin's Parmesan Sesame Biscuits

A Writer Returns to the Kitchen
by Laurie Colwin, March 2000 (new edition) HarperCollins

"If you are just the tiniest bit energetic, it does not take too much effort to make plain, old-fashioned baking powder biscuits. It is my impression that no one
bakes these anymore - at least not from scratch - because when I produce them
people fall on them. I add Parmesan cheese, or grated Cheddar, and a little
pepper or toasted sesame seeds. You can put in anything you like - the basic procedure is the same.
This recipe is a combination of one in Charleston Receipts and another
from Elizabeth David's 'Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen '."

1. Sift 2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
2. Cut or rub in 2 tablespoons butter.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon lightly
toasted sesame seeds (cooled).
4. Add about 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and stir until the mixture forms a
dough. Knead 6 times on a floured board.
5. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a round cutter.
When using a 2 1/4-inch cutter, you'll get 20 biscuits.
6. Arrange on baking sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes at 425 degrees F.
