2 1/2 cups all - purpose bleached flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup Parmesan
1/8 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Set a rack to middle level of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees (500 degrees if you aren't adding cheese)
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and stir several times.
Rub in butter until completely blended using your fingertips. Add buttermilk and stir in with a fork. Add Parmesan, paprika and lemon zest stir in with fork.
Turn dough out on lightly floured work surface and fold dough over on itself several times to distribute moisture evenly and to make the dough slightly less sticky.
Pat or gently roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Cut with floured cutter. Avoid twisting cutter which distorts the sides of the biscuits. Place biscuits on pan.
Press scraps together and pat to 1/2 inch thickness again and cut remaining biscuits. Discard any scraps left after second rolling.
Bake Biscuits about 10-12 minutes, until well risen and light golden brown.
