Recipe Introduction


I add Parmesan cheese, or grated Cheddar, and a little pepper or toasted sesame seeds. You can put in anything you like - the basic procedure is the same.

1. Sift 2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper.
2. Cut or rub in 2 tablespoons butter.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon lightly toasted sesame seeds (cooled).
4. Add about 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and stir until the mixture forms a dough. Knead 6 times on a floured board.
5. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut with a round cutter. When using a 2 1/4-inch cutter, you'll get 20 biscuits.
6. Arrange on baking sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes at 425ºF.
