Ingredients

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
