Cheddar Biscuits
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 cups All-purpose flour (or almond flour for a low-carb version!) 🥯
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 🧀
- 1 tbsp Baking powder 🥄
- ½ tsp Garlic powder 🧄
- ½ cup Cold butter, cubed 🧈
- ¾ cup Whole milk or heavy cream 🥛
- Salt to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Whisk the Dry: In a large bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. 🥣🌪️✨
- Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the cold butter cubes into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. 🧈🤚💎
- The Cheesy Fold: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. 🧀🤝🌀
- Add the Liquid: Pour in the milk or cream and stir just until a dough forms. Don’t overmix if you want them light and fluffy! 🥛🥄🚫
- Scoop & Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. 📐🥇✨
- Bake to Golden: Bake at 400°F ($200°C$) for 12–15 minutes. You are looking for those beautiful, bubbly, toasted cheese spots on top as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🔥
- Rest & Serve: Let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes so the cheese sets into a perfect crunch! ❄️⏲️🙌
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Crunch” Secret: As shown in the photo, the secret to those delicious dark golden peaks is using a high-quality sharp cheddar that crisps up beautifully in the oven! 🧀🛡️💎
- The “Butter” Hack: Brush the tops with melted garlic butter immediately after taking them out of the oven for an extra-indulgent shine and flavor! 🧈🧄✅
