I made this dish for a party, and it disappeared quickly!

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and mix until the dough comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
6. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut it into 12 equal pieces.
7. Place a piece of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Wrap the dough around the cheese, pressing the edges together to seal.
8. Arrange the biscuit bombs seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
11. After baking, brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Variations and Tips:

• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavors.
• For a sweet and savory twist, try adding a bit of bacon or a dollop of your favorite jam.
• Enhance the flavor by mixing red pepper flakes with the garlic powder.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by combining milk with lemon juice or vinegar.

Enjoy these Southern Mozzarella Biscuit Bombs as a delightful addition to any meal or as a satisfying snack on their own!
