Parmesan Biscuit Wedges

This is a relative of the baking powder biscuit. It would be perfect to serve with soup (since we love to dip bread in the soup.).  The parmesan adds great flavor.  These are quick, easy and tasty!

Parmesan Biscuit Wedges

adapted from Paula Deen

2 cups flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 grates Parmesan cheese plus a little more for sprinkling.

1/2 cup butter, cut into cubes and softened

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1 Tablespoon butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor(or with a fork), combine the flour, baking powder and parmesan. Add the butter and blend until the butter is mixed with the dry ingredients.  Transfer mix to a medium mixing bowl.

In a small bowl combine the milk and egg.  Beat and pour into the flour mixture. With a fork gently mix until the dough sticks together.  It will be wet and sticky.  Turn the dough on a floured board and with floured hands gently knead three times, or until the dough holds together.   The dough will be moist.

Pat the dough out in into a circle about 1/2 inch thick and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Cut in wedges with a pizza cutter.

Brush with 1 Tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 11-13 minute, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

These would be great served with: California Chowder, Baked Beef Stew , Crock Pot Minestrone Soup or many others!! Enjoy!
