Looking for a delicious appetizer recipe that will impress your guests? Look no further than these mouth-watering Pesto and Mozzarella Biscuits! This recipe is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a fancy dinner party.

Ingredients (serves 6):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix it just until it comes together, then stop. Overworking the dough can result in tough biscuits.
- Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into rounds. This will help the biscuits rise evenly.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the milk, pesto, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the bowl and stir until just combined.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
6. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm). Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into rounds.
7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve the biscuits warm, with additional pesto and mozzarella cheese on top if desired.
