Ingredients:
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!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) before you start mixing the ingredients to save time.
- Ensure that the butter and buttermilk are cold before mixing with the dry ingredients to achieve flakier biscuits.
- Grate your cheddar cheese using a coarse grater for better texture and distribution in your dough.
- Do not overmix the dough; mix just until ingredients are combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to shape the biscuits for a consistent size and even baking.
- Brush the tops with melted butter before baking for an extra golden and flavorful crust.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving for the best texture and to avoid burning your mouth with hot cheese.
Your kitchen will be filled with the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked Cheddar 'biscuits' as they come out of the oven. They are perfect to enjoy warm and can complement any meal or be savored on their own. Follow these tips and steps, and you'll have a batch of irresistible biscuits to share with family and friends. Happy baking!
