Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Lightly butter two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, nonfat dry milk powder, wheat germ, grated mozzarella, grated Emmenthal, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cut cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients.
-
Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter chunks remaining.
-
Stir in the grated white cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
-
Gradually pour in the cold water, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just begins to come together. Do not overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Gently pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
-
Using a floured knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares or rounds.
-
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for rising.
-
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and flaky.
