   Enjoy the delightful combination of Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts in these savory biscuits. Perfectly golden and fragrant, these biscuits are a wonderful addition to any meal or as a tasty snack.
| 1 | cup pine nuts | 
|---|---|
| 2 1⁄2 | all-purpose flour | 
| 3⁄4 | teaspoon salt | 
| 2 | teaspoons baking powder | 
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon baking soda | 
| 1 | cup very cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks | 
| 1 | cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese | 
| 1 1⁄2 | tablespoons dried rosemary | 
| 1 | cup cold buttermilk | 
| 1 | egg | 
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. | 
|---|---|
| 2. | In a small saucepan, toast the pine nuts over medium-low heat on the stovetop until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. | 
| 3. | In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. | 
| 4. | Cut the very cold unsalted butter into small chunks and incorporate it into the dry ingredients using a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingers, leaving the butter in pea-sized lumps. | 
| 5. | Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, and dried rosemary to the mixture. Mix well. | 
| 6. | In a small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and egg. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough starts to come together. | 
| 7. | Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over onto itself a few times with floured hands until it forms a cohesive mass. | 
| 8. | Pat the dough into a large circle about 2 inches high. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or sharp-edged glass, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. | 
| 9. | Gather any remaining dough scraps, fold them the same way as before, and cut out more biscuits. | 
| 10. | Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk and sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. | 
| 11. | Bake the biscuits for approximately 20 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool before serving. |
