Buttermilk Drop Biscuits

By BearForce

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated on smallest holes of a box grater (about 1⁄2 cup)
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 3/4 cups whole buttermilk
• 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, frozen, plus melted butter for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°F. Stir together flour, cheese, chives, baking powder, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk and mustard in a small bowl. Grate frozen butter into flour mixture using the large holes of a box grater; stir until well coated. Add buttermilk mixture; stir until just combined.

Drop batter in 2 1⁄2- to 3-tablespoonful rounds onto 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving 3 inches between rounds.

Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 14 to 18 minutes, rotating baking sheets between top and bottom racks halfway through baking time. Brush biscuits with melted butter; garnish with sliced chives. Serve warm.
