6 steps

Ingredients

3 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
3 cups flour
2 1/4 teaspoons Kala brand West Indian curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons tumeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350F.
2

Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes in a Kitchenaid. Scrape down occasionally with a rubber spatula.
3

Meanwhile sift the flour together with all the spices (the rest of the ingredients on the list).
4

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
5

Divide the dough in half and roll each half between 2 pieces of waxed paper until 3/16 inch thick. Refrigerate at least 1/2 hour and up to 3 days. The dough can also be well wrapped and frozen at this point. Defrost to refrigerator temperature before proceeding.
6

Roll the dough into logs 1 to 1 1/4 inches in diameter, chill until firm enough to slice, and cut into slices 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet until slightly colored, about 10-12 minutes When done, cool on a wire rack. Store the biscuits in an air tight container for a week or much longer in the freezer.
