Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour, Parmesan, baking powder, salt, baking soda, pepper, and garlic granules.

Step 3

Grate butter using the large holes of a box grater. Stir into the flour mixture.

Step 4

Add buttermilk and stir using a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch thick. Using a pastry cutter, lift the top portion of the dough down to the middle, and do the same with the bottom. It should look like a letter. Turn the dough a quarter to the left, repeat this process 3 more times. Cut out 10-12 rounds using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, straight down, do not twist the cutter. Place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet; place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove biscuits from freezer. Brush with melted butter, top with kosher salt and pepper. Place into oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
