Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
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, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and thyme leaves until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.
Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gather any leftover dough scraps and repeat the process.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy them on their own, with butter, or alongside your favorite meal.
