Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the milk and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1 inch thick round.
- Cut into small rounds using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet slightly spaced apart.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for shine.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until lightly golden on top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the best tender texture.
- Freshly grated cheese melts better and improves flavor.
- Do not twist the biscuit cutter, press straight down for better rise.
- Chill shaped biscuits for 10 minutes before baking for extra lift.
