1 tbsp water

Parmesan biscuits are a delightful savory treat that combines the rich, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese with the buttery, flaky texture of biscuits. Perfect for snacking or serving as an appetizer at gatherings, these biscuits are both simple to prepare and incredibly delicious.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2.50 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and the 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the flour.

3. Incorporate the Butter:
- Add 2/3 cup of butter to the flour and cheese mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, combine the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Whisk Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 2 egg yolks, 2 teaspoons of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of water until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until the dough starts to come together. You may need to use your hands to form a cohesive dough. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.

6. Shape the Dough:
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until smooth. Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or any shaped cutter to cut out biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake the Biscuits:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.

8. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

In just a few straightforward steps, you've created a batch of delectable Parmesan biscuits that are sure to impress. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with your favorite dip or simply on their own. Happy baking!
