Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups roasted red peppers (diced)
- 0.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cups whole milk (cold)
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently stir in the roasted red peppers and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the cold milk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps as needed to make additional biscuits.
Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches between each biscuit.
If using an egg wash, whisk together the egg and water, then lightly brush the top of each biscuit with the mixture for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm!
