Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups Pepperoni (diced)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, and grated Parmesan cheese to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and the egg until well combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a spatula just until everything comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
