Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add Flavor
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and optional fresh herbs.
Bind the Dough
Add the beaten egg and mix until a dough starts to form. If the dough feels too dry, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Chill
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.
Preheat and Roll
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch (1/2 cm) thickness.
Cut and Bake
Cut out the biscuits using a round cookie cutter or simply cut them into squares with a knife. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve
Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them as a snack, with a dip, or alongside a bowl of soup.
