Double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (measured)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (measured)
Cayenne pepper
1 pinch (measured)
Black pepper
1 pinch (measured)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, double-acting baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Whisk together until well-mixed.
3
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal with small pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
4
Fold in the chopped roasted red peppers, grated Parmesan cheese, and milk. Stir gently until the mixture comes together to form a sticky dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
5
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 mounds spaced about 2 inches apart.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and lightly golden on top.
7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
