Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the flour-butter mixture and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.

Step 6

Scoop the dough into 8 equal portions and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 8

Optional: While the biscuits are baking, melt an additional tablespoon of butter and mix it with a pinch of garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush this over the hot biscuits immediately after they come out of the oven for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy your Italian Garlic Biscuits with soup, pasta, or as a standalone snack!
