Method
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
- 2
Cut in Butter
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Chill Dough
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Cheese and Mustard
Once the beef is cooked, reduce heat to low. Add the cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully combined with the beef.

Bake the Biscuit Tops
Place half the biscuit rounds on a lined baking sheet. Spoon a portion of the beef filling onto each round, then top with another biscuit round. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
