Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Pour the milk into the bowl and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
