Parmesan and Sage Biscuits

       Ingredients       Yield: 6-12 (depending on size)
  • 250g (1 3/4c)               All-purpose Flour
  • 3g (1/2tsp)                   Salt
  • 10g (2tsp)                     Granulated Sugar
  • 12g (2 1/2tsp)              Baking Powder
  • 90g (1/3c +1 1/2Tbsp) Butter, cubed and                                                           frozen
  • 150ml (2/3c)                Milk
  • 10ml (2tsp)                  Lemon Juice
  • 60g (1c)                       Parmesan, grated (or desired cheese)
  • 3g (1Tbsp)                   Fresh Sage, chopped (or desired herb)
       Instructions
  1. Combine milk ad lemon juice and set aside. (You can substitute buttermilk instead if you have it).
  2. Combine all dry ingredients, flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, Parmesan, and sage into a bowl. (If using unsalted butter increase salt to 5g (1 tsp).
  3. When well combined add in cold butter. Cut in the fat to the dough by rubbing it between fingers until desired size. (For a flaky biscuit leave the butter in pea size shapes, for a cakier biscuit leave butter in a coarse cornmeal texture).
  4. Add milk and stir until just combined, do not over mix.
  5. Turn out onto a work surface and push the dough together. Knead four times.
  6. Roll dough out to 1cm (1/2inch) in thickness and cut to desired shape.
  7. Bake on a sheet pan lined with parchment in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown. (Optionally you can brush the biscuits with an egg wash prior to baking).
  8. Serve and enjoy!!
