Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring gently with a fork or spatula. Mix just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it into a cohesive ball.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick disc. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or round glass to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll scraps to cut out more biscuits as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for an extra glossy finish.
Serve warm with your favorite spreads or as a side dish for soups and stews.
