Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the milk and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it a few times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a round cutter or glass to cut out biscuits and place them in a greased baking dish, spaced evenly.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffy and golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm, drizzled with extra melted butter if desired, with breakfast sides or sweet spreads.
Notes
- For added flavor, incorporate herbs, garlic powder, or chopped chives into the dough.
- Can be prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight for fresh baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- To freeze, wrap baked biscuits tightly and freeze for extended storage. Reheat in oven or microwave.
