Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup blue cheese, crumbled
• 0.75 cup whole milk, cold
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold whole milk. Stir gently with a fork or a spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rough rectangle, about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then pat it back out into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any scraps to cut out additional biscuits.

Step 8

If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with heavy cream for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy them plain, or pair with butter or a drizzle of honey for contrast.
