Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons chilled butter
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, optional
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl shift together flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and parmesan cheese if you are using.
- Using a pastry blender, your hands, or a knife and fork, cut in the 6 tablespoons of butter until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk and stir with a fork until the mixture comes together. On a lightly floured surface pull out the dough and knead until it is smooth.
- Roll out dough until it is 1 inch thick. Cut out dough using a 3 inch biscuit butter, or you can cut into squares. With remaining dough, reform and roll out to 1 inch and repeat until all the dough is used and made into biscuits.
- Arrange biscuit dough on prepared baking sheet. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning with olive oil, then brush the olive oil on top of each biscuit, generously coating. Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until risen and a golden brown.
- Serve immediately, or set on counter or serving dish until ready to serve.
