Recipe - Ginger Walnut Drop Biscuit

1 Three fourths cup Flour
2 teaspoon Doubleacting baking powder
One half teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Salt
One half cup Cold unsalted butter; cut
into bits
One fourth pound Piece of gingerroot, peeled
& chopped, pressed through
a garlic press to make 1/4
cup, pureed
One half cup Firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup Walnuts; finely chopped
One half cup Milk

Into a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Stir in the
ginger puree and juice, the brown sugar and the walnuts. Add the milk and
stir until it just forms a soft sticky dough. Drop the dough by rounded
tablespoons onto an unbuttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the
middle of a preheated 425 oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are
golden. Makes about 18 biscuits.
