Biscuit Directions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the biscuits will rise properly and develop a golden crust.

Cut in Butter
Add the tablespoon of unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Cheese
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Combine Wet Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the milk and honey until well combined. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.

Form the Dough
Gently stir the mixture until it just comes together to form a dough. Do not overmix.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
