Instructions
To create your Parmesan Cheese Biscuits, begin by gathering your ingredients and following these straightforward steps:

-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cold unsalted butter. You can choose to use a food processor for this step or simply use your hands, as I prefer. Rub the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Don’t worry if some small pieces of butter remain visible; they will melt beautifully while baking.
-
Incorporate the Cheese and Spices: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and red chili flakes to the flour-butter mixture. Gently mix everything together until it forms a cohesive dough.
-
Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a log shape. For ease of handling, consider making two smaller logs. Wrap the logs tightly in cling film and place them in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour, or until they are firm to the touch.
-
Preheat the Oven: After an hour of chilling, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the biscuits will bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden color.
-
Cut the Biscuits: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled dough logs into rounds approximately 1/3 of an inch thick. Place the rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave about an inch of space between each biscuit.
-
Chill Again: To maintain their shape during baking, place the baking tray in the freezer for 10 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving biscuits that hold their form without spreading too much.
-
Bake the Biscuits: After freezing, transfer the baking tray directly to the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fragrant.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the tray. Serve your Parmesan Cheese Biscuits warm, alongside a steaming cup of Hot Masala Tea for an inviting tea-time treat.
These biscuits are not only simple to prepare but also a great way to impress your guests with your baking prowess. With their rich cheese flavor and a kick of chili, they are bound to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the crunchy texture and cheesy goodness with every bite!
