Homemade Dill Biscuits

Homemade Dill Biscuits Recipes - Family Fresh MealsBecause dill is one of the first plants to come up in the garden, I always think of fresh dill as the flavor of spring. Especially because it goes so well with light, springtime-y dishes like fresh fish, asparagus, and my Cauliflower Potato Salad.

So now that spring is in full swing, I’ve been hankering to fix something with fresh dill in it. And since I’ve been having so much fun with my new homemade biscuit recipe, it seemed like a natural to put the two together and make some biscuits with a sprinkle of dill.baked rolls on baking sheet

Of course, once I started experimenting, I couldn’t be satisfied with just throwing in some dill and leaving it at that. I started mixing and tasting, looking for just the right combination of flavors to make these biscuits really new and different. After several rounds of testing, I finally hit on what seemed like the perfect combo: fresh dill, parmesan, and just a touch of onion and garlic powder.

These cheesy Homemade Dill Biscuits are great for jazzing up a dinner with a simple main course – grilled fish, roast chicken, St. Patrick’s Day Stew or your Easter ham. Or just melt a little cheese on top for a light lunch.butter on a fresh baked biscuit
