Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg (optional, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk, stirring gently with a fork or spoon, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it into a cohesive ball. Pat or roll it out to about 1-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 8

If desired, prepare an egg wash by whisking together one egg and one tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy delights!
