Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

3. 3

   Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into small cubes. Work into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Stir in 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Pour in 3/4 cup cold milk. Stir with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead 2-3 times, then pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

7. 7

   Cut into 8 rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.

8. 8

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through. Serve warm.

9. 9

   Optional: brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cheese before baking for a richer finish.
