Garlic Bread Biscuits

Servings: 6

Total time: 45, including chilling time

INGREDIENTS

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Baking Salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup cold buttermilk
For topping:
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
1 garlic clove, finely minced
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking salt, garlic powder and Italian herbs in a large bowl. Add cold butter and cut it into flour mixture using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs remain.
Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold in half three times. Pat dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut dough into squares and place onto prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Chill biscuits at least 20 minutes. Bake until golden-brown, about 12-15 minutes.
For topping: Combine butter, kosher salt and garlic in a small bowl. Remove biscuits from oven and immediately brush with butter mixture. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley, and serve warm
