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, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for brushing)
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, 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.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Using a fork, mix the ingredients lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 4-5 times. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Gently re-roll any scraps of dough and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced. For extra golden tops, brush the biscuits with heavy cream if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread.
