How to Make Basil Parmesan Biscuits

  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  8. Use a biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.
  9. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
