Biscuits with Artichokes, Roasted Red Peppers and Feta

I know, sounds amazing, right?? They are just as scrumptious as they sound, too, and super easy! This is another one of those tailgating recipes I made last month but these biscuits would compliment any casual or fancy dinner.

Artichoke, Roasted Red Pepper, and Feta Biscuits

from Two Peas and Their Pod

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup chopped artichokes
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 cup buttermilk*
2 tablespoons butter, melted-for brushing the biscuits

Preheat the oven to 450°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the minced garlic and fresh basil. Mix in cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add artichokes, roasted red peppers, feta cheese and gently stir. Pour buttermilk over all of the ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined.

Drop round spoonfuls of dough, about four tablespoons, onto prepared baking sheet. Brush biscuits with melted butter. Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm.

*I never buy buttermilk, because I can't ever find it in 1-cup containers and whatever I don't use ends up going to waste. Plus, making it yourself is so simple!! All you need to do is add 1 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice (I use lemon juice) to 1 cup of milk. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes, then use! Crazy, right?
