Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the milk into the flour-butter mixture and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Scoop the dough into 8 equal portions and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Optional: While the biscuits are baking, melt an additional tablespoon of butter and mix it with a pinch of garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush this over the hot biscuits immediately after they come out of the oven for an extra burst of flavor.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Garlic Biscuits with soup, pasta, or as a standalone snack!
