Dill and green onions flavor this biscuit's wonderful, creamy filling. Your hands may get a bit sticky while shaping the biscuits around the filling but persevere--it's worth it. A little of the filling peeking out is just fine; it provides a delicate light green contrast to the golden biscuit.

Ingredients
- FILLING
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Dash freshly ground pepper
- BISCUITS
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut up
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper. In small bowl, stir together all filling ingredients.
- In large bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With pastry blender or two knives, cut in 1/3 cup butter until butter is size of blueberries.
- In another small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add to flour mixture, mixing just until soft dough forms. (Dough will be moist and sticky.)
- On floured surface with well-floured hands, knead dough 2 to 3 times to combine. Pat dough into 3/8-inch-thick square. With floured knife, cut into 6 rectangles. Press each rectangle lightly to flatten.
- Spoon filling onto center of each rectangle. With well-floured hands, fold dough around filling; shape into round and flatten to about 3/4-inch thickness. Place on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm.
