Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 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, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the whole milk, stirring gently, 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 to bring it together. Roll it out to about 3/4-inch thickness.
Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.
Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits evenly with the additional granulated sugar for topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are best served warm.
