Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 4 oz cream cheese (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup buttermilk (cold)
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and cream cheese to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the cold buttermilk and honey, stirring until the honey is dissolved. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they touch slightly for a fluffier rise.
Re-roll the scraps of dough and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or an additional drizzle of honey, if desired.
