Black Pepper Parmesan Drop Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner.

In a large bowl, combine flour, pepper, salt, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk until combined.

Using a pastry blender (or two forks), add the butter pieces to the flour and mix the contents until it resembles wet sand. Mix in the Parmesan cheese.

Pour in the milk and stir with a spoon until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. To do this, I used a #16 ice cream scoop (2 3/4 ounce) and they portioned out perfectly. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
