Scratch biscuits

These Parmesan Garlic Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch are adapted from a recipe I posted back in 2014 for Fresh Buttermilk Biscuits. These are one of my favorites, especially when I have leftover buttermilk in the house. It’s a great way to make a tasty treat that helps use up the buttermilk.

Serve these biscuits with homemade soup at dinner. With gravy for breakfast. As a breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese inside. Serve these Biscuits from Scratch with any stew or roast. These go with everything! And at any meal!

Ingredient Notes:

As for the buttermilk, when I buy a carton, I pour the leftovers in ice cube trays and defrost the cubes in the microwave as needed to use them.

You can also use powdered buttermilk in these; when I do I reconstitute the powdered stuff in milk so it’s a little richer.

I call for ¼ cup of Parmesan in these biscuits.

I’m still watching my cheese intake, so I went a little light on the cheese. You still get a nice salty flavor of the Parmesan in these.

If you aren’t watching your cheese intake, you can feel free to up the Parmesan to ½ cup.

And, please use real Parmesan, not that dry shake from the canister stuff in these!

Calories 218 kcal

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon fine grain salt
• ¼ cup finely shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled & cut into cubes
• ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons butter melted
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

 

• Mix the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl, and add in the shredded Parmesan. With a pastry cutter, a sturdy fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles course meal, with some larger butter lumps remaining.
• With a fork, stir in ¾ cup of the buttermilk until the mixture forms a soft, sticky ball. If the dough is too dry, add a little extra buttermilk – 1 tablespoon at a time up to 2 tablespoons.
• Give the dough one or two kneads with your hands to make sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Cut the dough in eight to ten equal pieces. Lightly roll dough pieces into balls, and transfer the biscuits to a silpat or parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes at 400° F, until they‘re golden brown.
• In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder together. Brush the garlic butter on the biscuits. Enjoy!

Notes

Biscuit dough can be made and kept, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days in advance. Bake when ready to use. Makes 8-10 nice sized biscuits
