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?

Now I want it too, but good grief. It is just impossible. I've found baking-powder biscuits with tahini gravy, no doubt delicious, but not the same thing. I did find one article about what to do if you wanted to make biscuits and didn't have any butter, and that one did say that you could substitute nut or seed butter in the same amount as actual butter called for in the recipe.

Since I can't believe doing this with peanut butter is a shining idea, I'm a little dubious. And that's really a lot of tahini.

Hm. I follow a number of recipe blogs where they use nut butter or tahini instead of oil, but I don't have enough experience with doing that to know the proportions. I did some web searching using alternate words, but didn't find anything that looked like exactly what you had in mind. I will keep an eye out and let you know if I spot anything.
