Cheddar and Herb Biscuits
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or thyme)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently re-roll the scraps and continue cutting out biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
