Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Pour the milk into the bowl, stirring gently with a fork or spatula until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuit rounds, re-rolling the scraps as needed. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
For an optional golden finish, whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm, slathered with butter or paired with your favorite meal.
