Biscuits with salmon and cream cheese

Ingredients:

For the biscuits:
250 gr strong white flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
115 gr cold butter grated
3 tbs chopped dill
245 gr buttermilk (if you don’t have buttermilk mix 2/3 yogurt with 1/3 milk and you’ll get a good replacement)
2 tbs butter melted

For the filling:
100 gr smoked salmon
1 box Philadelphia cream chesse with chives
juice from 1/2 lemon
some capers around 15 I think I used
1 tbs chopped dill
salt and pepper to taste
rocket salad

Method:

For the biscuits:
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add the grated butter and mix until coated in flour.
Add the dill and the butemilk until you get a sticky dough. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and preheat your oven to 200 grades C.
Form your biscuits in medium sized spheres and brush them with the melted butter.
Bake them for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

For the filling:
Mix the cream cheese with the lemon juice, capers and dill, add salt and pepper to taste.
If you find the filling to be too thick add some sour cream in it. I didn’t because we like it as it is.
Cut your biscuits in 2 put some of the cream cheese on each side of the biscuit (on the inside of course), put some salmon on top of the cream cheese on the bottom half of the biscuit, add some rocket salad and then put the top of the biscuit over it.
