Parmesan-Black Pepper Drop Biscuits image

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 salt
1 pepper, freshly and coarsely ground
1 cup buttermilk, cold
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 neutral oil or baking spray
1 1/4 cups Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

With the rack in the middle position, heat the oven to 450. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick liner and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, grated Parmesan, 1 t salt, and 1 1/2 t pepper to combine well.
In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and melted butter (the butter will clump, which is fine). Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and, using a flexible spatula, fold and stir until wet and dry ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake until the tops are golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack, cool for about 5 minutes, and serve.
