Cheesy Mozzarella Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and basil.
3. Cut in the Butter:
   • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture.
   • Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the Cheese:
   • Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Mix the Dough:
   • Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
6. Shape the Biscuits:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
   • Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
   • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Top with Parmesan (Optional):
   • Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
8. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
