Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten, for brushing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Garlic powder
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, salt, and optional garlic powder until evenly combined.
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.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and chives, ensuring the herbs and cheese are evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk gradually, stirring with a fork or spatula, until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it into a cohesive ball. Flatten it into a disc around 1/2-inch thick.
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each biscuit. Gather any dough scraps, re-roll, and cut until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the lightly beaten egg to give them a golden hue during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
