Savory Cheese & Herb Biscuits image

The biscuits will rise to double the thickness, about 1 inch high. Split in middle and rub with butter and then place together. An absolutely great biscuit that can be served with soup or along with your main course. I developed this recipe about 25 years ago.

Time 25m

Yield 30 biscuits, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup cake-and-pastry flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons italian seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chilled butter
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is preferred)
1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
  • Lightly grease an oven baking sheet with olive oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add both flours, baking powder, Italian herb seasoning mix, salt, baking soda and pepper.
  • Stir with a fork until well mixed.
  • Cut in butter using a pastry blender or a fork until pastry resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese.
  • Gently fold in buttermilk until well blended.
  • Gather dough into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 8 to 10 times.
  • Dough will be slightly sticky.
  • Roll out dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Using a 1 1/2 inch cookie cutter, punch out dough.
  • Place on greased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
  • Gather up scraps of dough and re-roll and cut out remaining biscuits.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated 425 F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve biscuits hot with butter.
  • If you prefer bite-size biscuits, then use a 1 1/4 inch cutter or make your own using the top of a spray can, there are many varieties of sprays to choose from. Just cut part of the top off so that you can clean easier.
  • When cutting, dip the cutter into flour each time.

These biscuits were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more milk next time.
