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 (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 cup fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the butter is incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the whole milk. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 4-5 times until it holds together. Pat or roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut the dough into circles, re-rolling scraps as needed. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or as a side to your favorite dish.
