Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like Tabasco or your preferred brand)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
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, sugar, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and paprika.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, mix the milk and hot sauce together until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture. Stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to evenly distribute it throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick round.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden on top and cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite toppings!
