Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup diced pepperoni
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced pepperoni until evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

While the biscuits are baking, melt the butter and stir in the dried parsley if using.

Step 10

Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush the tops with the melted butter for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your Pepperoni Biscuits!
