Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Beer (lager works best)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.25 cup Optional: Fresh chives, chopped
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 flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer and honey until well combined.
Pour the beer mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half and pat it down again. Repeat this folding process two more times for flakier layers.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Serve warm with butter or an extra drizzle of honey, and enjoy!
