Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
• 2 teaspoons Honey (optional, for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed through the flour mixture.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it out again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create layers.

Step 7

Using a floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits as needed.

Step 8

If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter or a mixture of melted butter and honey for a golden, slightly sweet finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite toppings!
