Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1 cup Gouda cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
- 0.75 cup milk (cold)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
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, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded Gouda cheese and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gradually pour in the cold milk, gently stirring with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, reshape, and cut additional biscuits.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create the egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash.
Bake 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.
