Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. - Cut in the Butter:
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. - Add Cheese and Milk:
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually add the milk, stirring until a soft dough forms. - Form the Biscuits:
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top. - Serve:
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter for an extra buttery flavor.
Notes
- These biscuits are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for 1-2 days and reheat them before serving.
- For extra flavor, feel free to add herbs like garlic powder or rosemary to the dough.
- For a more indulgent version, add extra cheese on top before baking.
- You can make these biscuits ahead of time by preparing the dough and freezing it. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes of baking time.
- These biscuits pair wonderfully with soups, stews, and salads as well as your Thanksgiving spread.
