All-purpose flour: The foundation of the biscuit dough, all-purpose flour provides structure and texture. For a gluten-free alternative, you can use a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. Baking powder: Essential for the biscuits’ rise and fluffiness, baking powder acts as the leavening agent. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results. Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the biscuits and balances the sweetness of the dough. Cold butter: The key to tender, flaky biscuits is using cold butter, which creates pockets of steam during baking. You can substitute cold coconut oil or chilled vegan butter for a dairy-free option. Shredded mozzarella cheese: Adds a delightful, gooey, cheesy goodness to the biscuits. Feel free to experiment with other types of cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, or Gouda for a different flavor profile. Milk: Cold milk helps keep the butter cold, contributing to the biscuits’ flaky texture. For a dairy-free alternative, use cold almond milk, soy milk, or any other non-dairy milk of your choice. Egg (for egg wash): Brushing the biscuits with an egg wash gives them a beautiful golden-brown color and a slightly crispy crust. If you’re looking for an egg-free option, you can use milk or a plant-based milk alternative mixed with a bit of melted butter or oil.
Incredibly easy to make, only a few ingredients required, you’re going to love these. Let’s get baking! Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. This way, it’ll be nice and hot when you’re ready to bake the biscuits. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good mix to distribute everything evenly. Now, add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the butter is pea-sized. Throw in the shredded mozzarella cheese and pour in the cold milk. Mix everything until the dough comes together. If needed, use your hands to help it along. Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough onto it. Knead the dough a few times (not too much) and then roll it out to about half an inch thick. Grab a round cookie cutter or a glass with a 3-inch diameter and start cutting out the biscuits. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, a glass will work just fine. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet, brush them with egg wash, and pop them into the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until they’re golden brown, and then let them cool on a wire rack.
Storage
To store any leftover biscuits, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. You can keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For the best taste and texture, reheat them in the oven before serving.
