Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup milk

You’ll need a bowl for mixing, a baking sheet, and an oven for cooking.

The star of the show, the sharp cheddar cheese, gives a superb flavor to the biscuits. The all-purpose flour and baking powder work together to create a light and fluffy texture. Butter adds richness and the milk, while providing moisture, aids in developing a tender crumb. Substitutions? Sure thing! You can switch the cheddar for any other cheese that melts well such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack. Vegans can use plant-based milk instead of dairy milk.

How To Make Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

1. First, preheat your oven to 450��F (230��C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter, making sure to mix until you have a crumbly texture.
3. Stir in the cheddar cheese and then gradually add the milk while stirring until a dough forms. Do not overmix!
4. Use your hands to lightly knead the dough in the bowl, just enough to bring everything together. Be careful not to overwork the dough or your biscuits will become tough.
5. Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove biscuits from the oven and serve warm to enjoy the maximum cheese pull. Swoon!
