ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ground
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, ground
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄2 cup butter, frozen
- 3⁄4 cup milk (substitute buttermilk)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1⁄2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
directions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, rosemary, garlic powder, sea salt and cayenne pepper. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until the size of peas. Make a well in the center of mixture and add milk, cheese and parsley. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough on a floured work surface to 1-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into circles and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown. Makes 8 biscuits; serve with *Country Gravy.
- Note: Freezer butter for 15 minutes and then use the large holes of a grater to grate into flour mixture. Makes easier to incorporate and makes a great flaky biscuit.
