Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring, just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 4-5 times to bring it together.
Roll or pat the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness, and use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Serve warm, or let the biscuits cool completely before freezing. To freeze, place the biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container.
To reheat frozen biscuits, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
