Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 0.25 cup Additional Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole milk, egg, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 7

Using your hands, roll small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball.

Step 8

Once all bites are on the tray, sprinkle each with a pinch of the additional Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and slightly puffed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
