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

I'm a simple woman. I see biscuits, I click.
Usted me representa.
the potato hooves! omg your parents were extra 😂 that is amazing though
I love how much Molly loves biscuits
Amazing looking biscuits. Thank you Molly.
I always grate frozen butter for scones, biscuits and pie crust. Your biscuits sound amazing
Yum zaatar - a staple in any middle east home (even to drink!)
This recipe is so easy and perfect everyone loved it! Thank you
the feta is genius, i cannot wait to make these omfg
love the creativity and it looks exceptional!
These biscuits are 🔥! So good. I spent days thinking about making them and when the time came they did not disappoint. I’ll be making them again for sure 💯⭐️
Thank you Molly!
This was a very smart way to show solidarity without alienating a bunch of your audience
Your lighting person really kills it every time. Your cheekbones are always popping ✨
Love that you brought back the funny clip to end the vid!!!!! 🎉❤
Interesting 😊 I got that seasoning I will put this on the list to make.
She always looks stunning
I love za'atar seasoning, I can't wait to try this. Hopefully, Molly will do more recipes featuring za'atar.
Palestine ❤🇵🇸
Your parents are amazing for making such a great effort! 🫶
These look absolutely delicious and not at all difficult to make! Also, am I crazy for thinking this is a great technique video -- that you could swap in any cheese or herb/spice blend to make another flavor of delicious biscuit?
yass 🇵🇸
These are the best biscuits I have ever eaten.
These were bomb. We turned them into breakfast sandwiches with homemade ground lamb sausage patties and sunny side up eggs. Decadent!
thank you for allowing me to steal this idea
Ohh wow!
You had me at feta
I finally made these this afternoon and they’re incredible! Even though I’m a mediocre baker at best & no real clue about biscuits but they’re insanely good & perfect with the sweet potato & sumac soup I was making (recipe from the Sainsbury’s website & it’s also brilliant & very easy) 😅
Molly is the ultimate.
Is there anything you can't make mouth wateringly good? I doubt it. :)
There's something truly American about a Jewish girl believing in Santa Claus until the age of 14.
Haha, that whole thing confused the bejesus outta me.
Jewish?
@@tamarlavy7464 Edit: I just learned that Molly converted to Judaism when she married Ben, so that explains why her family celebrates Christmas.
@@Phi1618033 She did? Eh weird, guess she wasn't good enough the way she was?
Molly is Jewish.@@tamarlavy7464
Do you think it' possible to make these with a gluten free flour or no? If yes, thoughts on the best alternative? Almond flour? Rice flour? Thanks!
Ok yes… aggressively adding this to the new year’s morning breakfast menu
You had me at po-ta-toes cut to make raindeer hoves!
I can only get feta in crumbled form in my area. Can i still make this? How uniform does the cheeze need to be inbetween folds?
I have always grated the butter by hand. But is it too much for the food processor? With the grater attachment? Because it takes forever to grate by hand.
your parents are legends
Love Za’atar. Free Palestine! 🍉
🎉 happy xmas m olly baz.
Pro tip if you have hot hands use the wrapper of the butter when you grate it into the flour.
9:39 I also do this whenever I make something nice
For Palestinians, za'atar has historical significance; some consider its presence to be a sign of a Palestinian home. 🇵🇸
Thank you. In my country we can't find buttermilk, can I use kefir instead? or any other ingredient in place of buttermilk?
Kefir works well as a buttermilk replacement.
yes yes yes yes yes
Dude. My mom used boots to scrape in the fireplace ashes and leave santa prints on the hearth. I too believed until i was 14...
It’s weird that there was no credit given to the ottolenghi channel that posted about feta Zatar biscuits months before this post.
100%
Love u Molly ! God loves you more! ❤
It's 11:48 at night on a Sunday, just watched this from bed and wondering if I should jump off and make these - right now. Obvs "yes" is the answer...
so excited to make this! also, i think it's important to name that food is political and in this case, given the current ongoing genocide, it's important to know about the history of za'atar. specifically that the Israeli ministry declared it a protected plant in the 70s, and this disproportionately criminalizes Palestinians who are indigenous to the land. this is known as green colonialism.
za'atar is a spice blend not a plant?
@@nathanlydia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Za%27atar
interesting @@joprice6269
You don't sound "so excited to make this" Jojo
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Is it possible to make these in a Le Cruset stove top? I have a convection oven/air fryer but nothing ever bakes right in there. 😔
Is it possible to substitute buttermilk with something else? It’s very hard to find it in my area. 😢
Milk plus one tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Or mix together milk and yogurt
Beer or dill water
Kefir or other thin fermented milk / yougurt
Could you refrigerate this the day before and just bake it off right before serving?
hey...I tried this! I made them a full 48 hours ahead, thinking it would work fine and it did'ish...they did not rise up as high, so were a little less flaky and more chewy. I'm thinking too much time sitting allows the dough to hydrate too much? my 20 something son and gf still loved them like crazy :), but wondering if @mollybaz monitors
these comments and if so, what she would say about that.
@@kathymarshall7571 it's more that the rising agent goes flat. Biscuits are meant to be quick bakes for a reason
after making this recipe i definitely agree with the description directions to double the recipe. so. fucking. yum.
Omg Molly give us a spoiler warning next time my 6 year old was sitting next to me 😂😂😂😂😂. Lucky he was day dreaming
The camera man looks a little like James Hetfield from Metallica circa 1990-1993
Oof. ❤ flav city
14? dang molly
@mollybaz homemade or store bought Za’atar? Brand?
Find the nearest middle eastern market and buy it in bulk. No brand name. Little bottles at the supermarket are a rip-off.
The translation is "thyme" but it's actually a different type of thyme, so I'd highly recommend buying a blend from a local middle eastern market. Different countries have slightly different blends, but all are likely delicious :) Try it on a bagel with cream cheese :)
Go to any Palestinian store, it’s a historical indigenous spice used in their cuisine.
Where my fellow seattlites getting za'atar that is top notch?
There are middle eastern markets in Seattle, that's where. Check them out. That's where the best zataar is.
Check out any Palestinian owned store!
palestinian za'atar >>>
May try this as a sourdough discard biscuit.
Anyone have this in grams? I have no idea what a stick of butter is in grams?
Google is your friend (in this case)
still can.t figure out if those green bushes are real or AI.
The way the sun is hitting them, they look unreal!
This video reminds me of a video of an old Italian lady shocked when she saw how in america put meatballs and pizza I am as shock now as Lebanese growing up having Za'atar a staple in our food this isn't house Za'atar is eaten or seasoned it should be paired with olive oil we use it on something called Mana'eesh which is a flatbread with Za'atar baked together on top this is the most famous eaten to go breakfast in Lebanon and many places in the Levantine region
Yes! First generation Lebanese here, and I find it amusing how trendy z'aatar is. The little spice jars at the supermarket are ridiculously expensive. I buy mine in bulk at a middle eastern grocery store at a fraction of the cost. Mana'eesh with coffee in the morning ... nothing better.
wait, there is no santa?
14?!
Ooh yq
Trigger warning!!! My almost 8 year old almost had a new life experience!
I can't believe ppl watch her videos with kids around, dude you know better
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Palestinian za’atar. It is very insensitive not to mention the origins of za’atar, especially at this time, when millions of innocent people are starving during a genocide.
it's not specifically only from Palestine- its from the whole Middle East.
A whole history lesson for one ingredient would not be about cooking anymore
@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.
I had Za’atar fries from a Palestinian restaurant. I’m never had better fries ever!
This is a food channel not a history and political channel.
Incredibly tone deaf to post this without a single mention of Palestine. 18.000 gazans murdered by Israel in two months are not enough to show some solidarity with Palestine when using the best known ingredient of their cuisine, apparently.
Za'atar is not just your fancy and cool ingredient to use. Better go watch the video Middle Eats published last month about it.
And to those saying she doesn't want to bring politics into a food video, be aware that being silent is also a very loud way of being political. Free Palestine!
Remember who triggered this conflict, Isreal didn't start this conflict and aren't the ones hiding behind civilians.
@@TheRealWilliamWhite not going to bother too much, but the conflict started 75 years ago, not on october 7th. Even before october 7th Israel had a huge, disproportionate lead on vulnerating almost every human right imaginable. From murdering thousands of civilians to mass incarcerations without trial (including minors), settleing on land which is internationally considered ilegal... You can't really win with that argument, Israel and it's allies are the sole triggers of this whole situation.
@@TheRealWilliamWhiteyou are not educated or smart. Israel started this conflict decades ago when they invaded and colonized land that was already occupied.
🤡🤡@@TheRealWilliamWhite
Free free Palestine ❤️ zaatar is Palestinian ❤️
U mean santa isnt real
Love molly. Love the biscuits. But people may watch these with their kids. A little santa spoiler alert, may be necessary.
You let the kids watch with all the possible cursing?
Spoiler alert! My 7 year old loves her videos and fortunately wasn’t watching this one.
She’ll soon know not to do that once she has kids of her own.
Zaatar is an Arabian spice. Not Israeli. Make no mistake
Looks delicious but would be better with phyllo dough instead of flour dough.
14 year old believing in Santa😅
I'm sorry, am I the only one outraged that you would release a video using Za'atar, a spice blend originating from Palestine, while making no comment on the active genocide happening on the Palestinian people right now? It's disgusting the amount of white chef's who have no problem using the culture foods of Palestine but won't stand up for Palestinians. Palestinians don't even have free access to these spices because of Israel.
This a food channel, not a political history channel.
@@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.
What do you expect from a white woman? Most of them don’t care about anything but themselves and gentrify the hell out of things to add novelty to their businesses and to seem “cool”
We need a trigger warning on the “Santa isn’t real” stuff!! My son was watching with me and I had to turn it off so fast 🥵
She also says the f word. Probably best to preview them or go through transcript before watching with your kids.
Incredibly tone-deaf of you to use Za'atar in your recipes but not mention that Palestinians are actively undergoing genocide and aren't even able to have access to the same spice you're using because of Israel's blockade? Food has always been political because there is history that comes with it (which Israel is trying to erase). Choosing to not say anything is a political statement in itself!
Not to mention the Palestinians unable to celebrate Christmas.
Yes! This could be the very last Christmas for Palestinian Christians. @@Bythesea939
Yeah all those palestinians celebrating xmas!!! Give me a break
@@Blueraazor Tons of Christians in Palestine. From Nazareth to Bethlehem and in between. Let's not forget the minority in Gaza too
Ever since Bassans interview with piers Morgan were gonna be seeing zaatar bread recipes for the next three months. It's Palestinian guys, did you know that? And food is political too now. It's not like food is an evolving thing that has the ability to bring ppl together and cross over into other dishes. No. The dish which was actually created in the middle east is now specific to Palestinians... Although specifically the ones in the north east... Fine fine.
Y Ottolenghi (wonderful chef and cookbook writer) uses Zaatar a lot. If he uses it, I’m using it - It’s an excellent spice.
man mommy and daddy money makes the most obnoxious people in their late 30s. everyone else grinded their asses off and earned personalities during their 20s and this person did not.
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.
