Filling:
1 ½ cup carrots, chopped
1 ½ cup mushrooms, chopped
1 cup onions, chopped small
1 cup potatoes, cubed
½ cup milk
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp basil
Crust:
1 ¼ cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
3 Tbsp butter
½ cup milk
mint leaves
bit of milk
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Chop the carrots. Boil them until they are bright colored and slightly soft. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the water.
Cube the potatoes. Boil them until they're soft. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the water. Mash the potatoes with the milk.
Stir together the carrots, onions, mushrooms, cornstarch, rosemary and basil. Put in a 9” square or circular baking pan. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top. Pour in the carrot and potato water.
Stir the flour, salt, and baking powder together. Cut in the butter, then stir in the milk. Knead to made a cohesive dough. On a piece of waxed paper, roll out the dough until it is big enough to cover the pan. Use the waxed paper to place the dough on top, tucking in the edges. Brush a small amount of milk on the crust, then sprinkle liberally with mint.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the crust is golden.

2 ¾ cup flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Tbsp Coconut oil or butter
1 ½ cup milk
Preheat oven to 450° F.
Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in the butter, or grate it & stir it in. Stir in the milk. For whole wheat flour, you might need 1 or 2 more Tbsp of milk. It should be a very soft, sticky dough. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes 12.
Variations:
Reduce the salt to ½ tsp. Add a bit of honey or sugar, and other things like nuts, oats, and dried fruit to make scones.
Use olive oil instead of butter. Add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp black pepper and roll out into thin pizza crusts (recipe is enough for 2 medium-large pizzas). It makes a nice crackery crust.
Make vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and water instead of milk. The biscuits still turn out soft and fluffy.
Add ¾ cup of grated cheese.

+ Pear & Rosemary
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt
¼ cup butter
¾ cup apple, grated or finely chopped
3 Tbsp honey
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
cinnamon and sugar
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Stir together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly and there's no more dry powder. Stir in apple, honey, sour cream and egg until combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the sheet. Use a dough scoop to make round, small scones. Gently press down the tops of each scone to make them flat. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.
Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variation:
Use pears instead of apples, add ¼ tsp dried rosemary to dough, and exclude the cinnamon sugar.
