Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 unit Egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon Extra sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
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, and salt until well 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.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sesame seeds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually add the milk, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg and sprinkle extra sesame seeds on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
