I MADE THIS DISH FOR A PARTY, AND IT DISAPPEARED QUICKLY!

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Step 2: Make the Dough

1. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cut butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3: Form the Biscuit Bombs

1. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
2. Shape the Dough: Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into 12 equal pieces.
3. Insert the Cheese: Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough piece. Wrap the dough around the cheese, pressing the edges to seal.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuits

1. Prepare for Baking: Place the biscuit bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
2. Add Butter and Seasoning: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
3. Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

1. Final Touches: After baking, brush the tops with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
2. Serve: Serve the biscuit bombs warm and enjoy!

Variations and Tips

• Cheese Alternatives: Try using different cheeses such as cheddar or pepper jack for a new flavor experience.
• Add Bacon or Jam: For a sweet and savory twist, add a small piece of bacon or a teaspoon of your favorite jam inside each biscuit.
• Extra Flavor: Mix red pepper flakes with the garlic powder for a bit of heat.
• Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
