Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plus more for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add butter and cheese: Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and herbs if using.
- Combine wet ingredients: Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk. Gently stir until just combined.
- Shape and bake: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle, fold, and cut out biscuits. Place on the baking sheet, brush with buttermilk, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with butter.
Notes
- Keep the butter and buttermilk very cold for the flakiest biscuits.
- You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
