Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, finely diced
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.75 cup whole milk, cold
- 1 unit egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
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 flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized pieces of butter are ideal.
Stir in the finely diced roasted red peppers and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed in the flour mixture.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 3-4 times until it comes together, then pat it into a circle or rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
