Method
Biscuit Directions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your biscuits will bake evenly.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Cut in Butter
Add the cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Cheese
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Incorporate Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
