Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 9 tablespoons cold, shredded butter
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the biscuits rise beautifully.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, shredded butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the dough.
- Pour in the cold milk and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light and airy.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or sharp knife and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the biscuits to achieve a golden color when baked.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, buttery goodness!
Notes
- Use cold butter for flaky biscuits; warm butter will make them dense.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Freeze unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet before storing in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for a festive twist.
- Rewarm biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to restore freshness.
