Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
• 12 mozzarella cheese cubes (about 1 inch each)
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
   • Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Form the Biscuits:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together.
   • Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 12 rounds of dough.
4. Add the Mozzarella:
   • Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of each dough round.
   • Gently fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
   • Place the biscuit bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
5. Bake:
   • Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs with melted butter.
   • Sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
   • Enjoy warm, while the cheese is still gooey!
