Biscuits

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add Butter

    Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in Cheese

    Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
