Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
Liquid
- 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and finely chop the onion and chives. Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor and set everything aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Cut in the Butter: Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for that flaky biscuit texture.
- Incorporate Onion and Chives: Gently fold in the chopped onion and chives, mixing just enough to spread them evenly without overworking the dough.
- Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the milk or buttermilk gradually and stir until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits fluffy and tender.
- Shape and Cut: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it into a rectangle about one inch thick, and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Gather scraps and repeat until the dough is used up.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the biscuit rounds onto a baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm, either plain or with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Keep the butter cold for flaky layers; warm butter will result in dense biscuits.
- Mix the dough just until combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh herbs and onion for vibrant, fresh flavor.
- Mix the cheese thoroughly with dry ingredients for evenly flavored biscuits.
- Bake biscuits on a preheated baking sheet to help them rise and develop a crisp crust.
