biscuit recipe?

[adrian_turtle]

Once upon a time, I saw a recipe here, on this very computer screen! Probably on dreamwidth. Whose Dreamwidth? No clue. I don't read hundreds of them. I didn't make it when I saw it, and it is impossible to search for because it was a recipe for tahini biscuits. Biscuits in the sense of the American biscuits you make with flour and baking powder, cut in butter to make crumbs, add milk to make dough you can roll out, then cut and bake. This recipe used tahini to replace (some of?) the butter and milk, but I have no idea what the proportions are. I am not a sufficiently experienced biscuit-maker to rely on "the dough feels right."

And of course, any search for "tahini biscuit" returns acres of cookies. Some of them may be delicious, but they are not what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?

Oh, excellent!

Do you think on the whole these biscuits are better in a savory application than a sweet, or would they work either way?

Certainly it sounds as the biscuits combine two foods in which Redbird is not interested.

I have never tried tahini in carrot soup, and now I will need to do that. My main uses for tahini are making hummus and making an amazing sandwich spread and dip with the goofy name of "Stedda Tuna." It's supposed to mimic tuna salad for vegans. It does not -- though I have to admit I have never obtained and added the required kelp powder, but I beg leave to doubt that it would suddenly become tunalike from that alone. It's a really good spread, though, with crunchy bits of carrot, celery, scallion, and sweet onion. But I digress.

Thank you for the link to the recipe! I will try to report back when I've tried it.

I think of them as definitely savory.

The carrot soup recipe is this:

If you can't get reasonably fresh pita bread (as because somebody is shopping for you once a week, and pita goes moldy in 3 days while tortillas keep 10 days in the refrigerator), flour tortillas make a great substitute here.

I regret to say the roasted chickpeas are not worth using if you can't get them crisp. The Eden ones don't work. Goya did, but I'm uncomfortable giving them money. Market Basket store brand canned chickpeas are pretty good, but local.
