  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter (cubed)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • A small pinch of paprika (optional, for a subtle kick)

Instructions
