PARMESAN HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix flour, parsley, 2 tablespoons of the cheese, the sugar, baking powder, salt and basil. Add 3/4 cup of the whipping cream; stir with fork just until dry ingredients are moistened, adding additional whipping cream 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to form a soft dough.
• On lightly floured work surface, gently roll dough in flour to coat. Knead lightly about 10 times or until dough forms a smooth ball. Pat dough into 1/2-inch-thick square.
• With knife, cut dough into 12 squares. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheet. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese.

PARMESAN HERB DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.)
• Add the Parmesan, parsley, oregano and thyme. Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture has just turned into a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
• Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/2-cup sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will make 6 generously sized biscuits.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Brush the warm biscuits with the melted butter. Enjoy!
