Yield 6 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, drained, patted dry and finely chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cayenne and a pinch of black pepper.
Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
Add the roasted peppers, the Parmesan and the milk and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough.
Drop the dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart onto buttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the middle of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden.
