Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 oz goat cheese
6 tbsp butter
1 cup dried milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Goat cheese and parmesan drop biscuits are a delectable twist on classic biscuits, adding rich, creamy flavors that elevate them to a gourmet level. The combination of tangy goat cheese and sharp parmesan creates an irresistible flavor profile that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side to your favorite meal.
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.
3. Cut in Butter:
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It's fine to have some larger pieces of butter remaining.
4. Add Cheese:
Crumble the goat cheese into the mixture and add the grated parmesan cheese. Stir gently to evenly distribute the cheeses throughout the flour mixture.
5. Add Milk:
Gradually add the dried milk to the mixture, stirring just until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly crumbly but hold together when pressed.
6. Form Biscuits:
Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to create evenly sized drop biscuits. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. They should be firm to the touch and slightly springy.
8. Cool:
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold before using it in the recipe. Cold butter helps create flakier biscuits.
- You can use a pastry cutter or a fork to mix the butter into the flour for a better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet helps to make evenly sized biscuits.
- For an extra cheesy flavor, you can sprinkle a little more grated parmesan on top of the biscuits before baking.
- Serve the biscuits warm for the best taste and texture.
Goat cheese and parmesan drop biscuits are a fantastic addition to any meal with their unique, savory taste. They are easy to make, requiring only a few simple ingredients, but the result is a treat that will impress your family and guests. Enjoy your homemade biscuits warm from the oven for the ultimate cheesy, delicious experience.
