These savoury wild garlic and buttermilk biscuits are a wonderful celebration of seasonal flavours. The delicate, onion-like notes of the wild garlic—known as ramps in some regions—pair beautifully with the tangy richness of buttermilk and the warm, citrusy scent of cracked coriander seeds. With their light, flaky texture and golden tops, they make an elegant alternative to traditional scones or dinner rolls during the spring months.

Serve them warm with a generous spread of salted butter for the best experience.
