  • Total Time30 min
  • Yield12-15 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 12 ramp leaves
  • 2 cups (250g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) baking soda
  • 1/3 cup (76g) frozen butter, grated
  • 3/4 cup (60g) grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 (310ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) melted butter

Preparation

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. 

Set 4 ramp leaves aside.

Slice the rest into thin ribbons. 

2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda well. 

Add the grated frozen butter and press in with a fork until it is all incorporated into the flour, creating a crumbly consistency. 

3

Add the grated cheese and sliced ramps, mixing them in. 

Add the milk, stirring it in, being careful not to over work or over mix the batter. 

4

Once it’s gotten to the point where you can loosely form biscuits, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop them onto a sheet pan. 

You should end up with 12-15 biscuits. Space them out well. 

5

Tear three of the remaining ramps into enough pieces to top the biscuits.

Place a small piece of ramp on top of each biscuit and put them in the oven for 15 minutes. 

6

Take the last remaining ramp and mince it. 

Add it to a small pot with the 2 tablespoons of butter and heat gently. 

Once the biscuits are done, gently brush each biscuit with the ramp butter, then let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

 

Notice how I didn’t have you scroll through pages of mundane nonsense to get to the recipe? Notice that there were no annoying pop-ups or ads? That was on purpose!
