Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cups roasted red peppers (diced)
• 0.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cups whole milk (cold)
• 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gently stir in the roasted red peppers and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the cold milk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds. Re-roll scraps as needed to make additional biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches between each biscuit.

Step 8

If using an egg wash, whisk together the egg and water, then lightly brush the top of each biscuit with the mixture for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm!
