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, diced)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh dill until evenly incorporated.
Pour the milk into the mixture and gently stir until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just a few times to bring it together.
Pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
If desired, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the biscuits for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Optional: serve with butter for extra indulgence.
