Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.75 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 unit Egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese evenly.
Gradually add the milk, stirring with a fork or spatula until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out individual biscuits. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed to use all the dough.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg to achieve a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden.
Cool slightly on a wire rack and serve warm, or at room temperature. Enjoy!
