Recipe information
Yield
Makes 6 biscuits
Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
a pinch of cayenne
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/3 cup finely chopped drained bottled roasted red peppers, patted dry
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons milk
Preparation
In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cayenne, and a pinch of black pepper, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the roasted peppers, the Parmesan, and the milk and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough. Drop the dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart onto a buttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.
