Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-Purpose Flour | 2 cups |
| Baking Powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Baking Soda | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed | 1/2 cup |
| Buttermilk | 1 cup |
| Mozzarella Cheese, small cubes | 12 cubes |
| Melted Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Garlic Powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Fresh Parsley, chopped | 1 tablespoon |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
-
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a spoon or spatula, just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
-
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently a few times to form a smooth ball.
-
Pat the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut the dough into 12 equal squares.
-
Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough over the cheese to form a pocket, pinching the edges to seal and prevent the cheese from leaking out.
-
Arrange the filled biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter and sprinkle them with garlic powder for added flavor.
-
Bake the biscuit bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey in the center.
-
Once out of the oven, brush the biscuit bombs with any remaining melted butter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
