Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine whole-wheat flour, grated Parmesan cheese, sugar, baking powder, basil leaves, and chopped parsley.
- Stir in milk just until moistened.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 times or until smooth.
- Roll dough into a 12 x 4-inch rectangle.
- Cut into twelve 1-inch strips.
- Place each strip into the prepared pan, turning once to coat with butter.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the whole-wheat flour with all-purpose flour. If you prefer a stronger flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or using aged Parmesan cheese. To save time, prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side for dishes like Bill'S Mushroom Chicken.
Serving Suggestions
These Parmesan Pan Biscuits are delightful on their own, but they pair beautifully with soups, salads, or as a side to a hearty main dish. Try serving them alongside a fresh garden salad or with a bowl of chili for a comforting meal. They also make a fantastic accompaniment to American recipes like BBQ chicken.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. For longer storage, consider freezing them, which allows them to maintain quality for up to a month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! You can try using cheddar, mozzarella, or even a mix of cheeses for a unique flavor. Just ensure that the cheese you choose melts well to maintain the texture of the biscuits.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you need a dairy-free option, almond milk, soy milk, or any non-dairy milk can be substituted in equal amounts. Just keep in mind that this might slightly alter the flavor and richness of the biscuits.
How can I make these biscuits spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating a dash of red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños into the dough. This will give the biscuits a nice kick, complementing the savory flavors of the Parmesan.
