I skipped breakfast and lunch today.

Instead, I had 4 biscuits.

That’s right. FOUR WHOLE BISCUITS. Hot from the oven. With extra butter slathered on.

I’m sorry but wedding schmedding. When I have a piping hot, mile-high, super-flaky biscuit loaded with fresh Parmesan, nobody is saying no here. NOBODY.

I was honestly just supposed to have 1 or 2 (for recipe testing and all) and then freeze the rest but we all know that’s not happening. Thank goodness for sweater weather.

So don’t mind me. I’m going in for a 5th biscuit in just a second. You know, for further recipe testing.

45 minutes20 minutes

Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter, frozen
1 3/4 cups buttermilk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine flour, Parmesan, baking powder, pepper, salt and baking soda.
Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture.
Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
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 1 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Using a sharp knife, cut 2-inch square biscuits, or use a 2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place 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.
Serve warm.
