    We all know Molly is a huge fan of biscuits. You’d think she’s tried all possible mix-ins: sesame, onions, cheddar, dates, etc. But she’s back again with another recipe that might trump all others: Feta and Za’atar biscuits. Not only is there butter AND feta inside, laminating the HECK out of the za’atar dough, but there then she slathers said za’atar butter over each one for over-the-top deliciousness. Trust us - make these. and maybeeee double the recipe ;)
    Ingredients:
    DAIRY
    2 sticks unsalted butter, divided (Molly used Kerrygold unsalted!)
    6 ounces feta cheese (block, not crumbled)
    1 cup buttermilk
    PANTRY
    2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    2 ½ tablespoons za’atar spice blend, divided
    1 tsp kosher salt
    1 tsp sugar
    Flaky sea salt

      ​ @Bananabear20 You're totally right, it is absolutely regional and ubiquitous like hummous or olive oil etc etc. However, you could just as easily say that it's insensitive to co-opt Lebanese culture without mentioning the use of white phosphorus by the Israeli military in southern Lebanon in October. Pick a spot that produces za'atar that's not being currently impacted by war, refugee crisis, geopolitics. It doesn't exist. Food is political (especially when people are being denied water, electricity, medical care etc.) Food is everything, so I think it's important to contextualize it rather that Molly's typical, nonchalant "salt and pep", feta and zat style (which has it's time and place). My 2 cents.

      @@TheRealWilliamWhite That’s where you’re wrong though. Food is political, always has been and always will be. These recipes and ingredients don’t come out of no where, they have a history to them. When you’re using a spice blend from a culture that is experiencing ACTIVE genocide right now, it is political. Palestinians cannot harvest these spices due to restrictions from the Israeli government, a Palestinian using this spice IS political, IS resistance. When they’re actively looking to wipe out an entire population, rid the world of its culture, it IS political to continue to use their spices and food to keep them alive. I’m sure if I go back to other videos of hers she’s made comments on how a dish is traditional made or why something is used with potatoes due to a restriction on food, etc. Palestine is experiencing an attack RIGHT NOW and to release a video in the middle of that, benefiting off of their food without any word IS disgusting.

    Molly is such a troll; not a mention of this recipe being obviously inspired by Ottolenghi, no mention of what za'atar is and talking about xmas in the same video 🙄. The audacity, the entitlement 🤷‍♀️

      What about the Ottomans, I imagine when they conquered, there might have been some cultural appropriation going on. (Btw, there ARE Christians in the ME too)

    Why’d you have to say what you said about Santa? We watch your videos as a family. 😞

      Oh no. She probably had no idea. I hope your kids ignored it.

      Then you know she curses. That would be on you to check things out before watching with your kids.
