Cheddar Biscuits
Tender, flaky and delicious, these Cheddar Biscuits are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They're even better than Red Lobster's!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. dry rosemary, ground
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground Himalayan sea salt
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup butter, frozen tips & tricks
- 3/4 cup milk (substitute buttermilk) tips & tricks
- 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped tips & tricks
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, rosemary, garlic powder, sea salt and cayenne pepper. Cut in butter (*see footnote) using a pastry cutter or a fork until about the size of peas.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and add milk, cheese and parsley. Gently mix until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough on a floured work surface to about 1-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into circles and place on a baking sheet.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the bottoms of the biscuits are golden brown.
Notes
Footnote: Freeze the butter for 15 minutes and then use the large holes of a grater to grate it into the flour mixture. This makes it easier to incorporate and also makes a great flaky biscuit.
