Crispy Salted Cheese Biscuits
🕒 The Details
- Prep time: 15 mins 🔪
- Bake time: 12–15 mins 🔥
- Yields: About 24 biscuits 🍪
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar cheese, finely grated 🧀
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) Cold butter, cubed 🧈
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder 🧄
- 1/4 tsp Salt (plus extra for topping) 🧂
- 2-3 tbsp Ice cold water 🧊
👩🍳 Let’s Get Baking!
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 🌡️
- Mix: In a food processor or bowl, combine flour, salt, and garlic powder. Add the cold butter and pulse (or use a pastry cutter) until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. 🥣✨
- Cheese it Up: Stir in the finely grated cheese. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just starts to come together. 🧀🙌
- Roll & Cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out thin (about 1/8 inch). Use a fluted round cutter to create your biscuit shapes. 🍪📐
- The Signature Look: Use a fork to poke several sets of holes in the center of each biscuit—this keeps them from puffing up too much! 🍴✨
- The Finish: Place on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a little extra coarse salt. 🧂
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. 🥨🔥
💡 Pro-Tip:
Make sure your butter and water are ice cold! This is the secret to getting that perfectly flaky, crispy texture. ❄️🧈
