Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the biscuits.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt throughout the flour.
- Add the 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix until the cheese is well coated and evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add 1 tablespoon of buttermilk to the beaten egg and mix until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the egg and buttermilk mixture into the well. Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is just combined; do not overmix, as it can make the biscuits tough.
- Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into small balls or drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Shape the dough into biscuits of desired size, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for expansion during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade cheddar biscuits!
