Parmesan cheese and fresh basil take the perfect flaky buttermilk biscuit over the edge for a delicious breakfast bread or dinner side.
Flaky buttermilk biscuits are irresistible. They make a perfect breakfast and a fantastic side for dinner. My recipe for Cheese and Herb Buttermilk Biscuits is out of this world. Loaded with so much flavor, and parmesan cheese takes them to the next level.
Don’t be afraid to make biscuits. The key is to work fast and use really cold butter. There isn’t much to it and you’ll be surprised at how simple they are to prepare.

Description
Parmesan cheese and fresh basil take the perfect flaky buttermilk biscuit over the edge for a delicious breakfast bread or dinner side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose white flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup light buttermilk
- 6 tbsp very cold butter cut into chunks
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped (please note that you must use fresh basil, this recipe will not work with dry basil)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir and set aside.
- Add cold butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter break up the butter into small lumps. You want small butter chunks all through the flour mixture.
- Stir in buttermilk, parmesan and basil. Gently mix using your hands to form a sticky ball.
- Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and pat down into a 1½ inch circle.
- Using a round cookie cutter (or a wine glass) cut out circles and place on a parchment lined baking tray. Use scraps to create another circle, you can get a few more biscuits out of it.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden and puffed up.
