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)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 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, and set aside.

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 unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. It's okay to have pea-sized bits of butter; this will make the biscuits flaky.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the milk and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a couple of times to create layers, then pat it out again to 1-inch thickness.

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 and cut out additional biscuits, but avoid overworking the dough.

Step 8

If desired, prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash for extra golden color during baking.

Step 9

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms are lightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
