Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.75 cups Grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Mix in the grated parmesan cheese and, if using, the chopped fresh rosemary or thyme for an herby flavor.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and cold water.
Stir the mixture gently using a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 3-4 times to form a cohesive ball.
Roll the dough out to about 3/4-inch thickness and use a round biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a side or snack.
