These biscuits are an awesome treat, but they are sinfully rich, so only on special occasions!
Yield: 8 2-inch biscuits
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into eight pieces, chilled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup milk
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl to blend. Using fingertips, rub the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles course meal. Stir in the cheese.
Add the milk and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and forms dough.
Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour. Scrape the dough out onto the floured surface. Gently pat the dough out until it is about 1 inch thick. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Evenly distribute the biscuits on a non-stick baking sheet or a sheet covered with parchement paper and bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until risen and well-browned.
You may also distribute the dough over your favorite pot-pie filling and bake as directed above.
