- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
Preheat your oven to 450℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, Parmesan and salt.
Grate the butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture.
Pour in the buttermilk and mix it up with a spatula until you see a soft dough forming. Stir using a rubber spatula until it forms into a soft dough.
Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1¼-inch thick rectangle. Cut into biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet; place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Remove biscuits from freezer.
Place into oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Grating cold butter into the dry mix ensures the fat is evenly distributed, leading to ultra-flaky biscuits.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before using.
- The 15-minute freezer trick firms up the butter, making sure your biscuits rise tall and proud in the oven.
- If you're looking to switch it up, try adding some herbs like rosemary or thyme to the mix. These biscuits are a blank canvas waiting for your culinary creativity!
- For that picture-perfect golden top, brush the biscuits with a little buttermilk or melted butter before baking.
