Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and medium).
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Pastry cutter or fork
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin (optional)
- Biscuit cutter or glass
- Pastry brush
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs thyme or parsley
Optional topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Extra grated cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.
Step 3: Cut in the butter
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is key for flaky biscuits.
Step 4: Add cheese
- Stir in the grated cheddar and parmesan cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Add milk
- Pour in the milk and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 6: Shape the dough
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick layer. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds.
Step 7: Bake
- Place the biscuits on the prepared tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 8: Finish and serve
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with extra cheese if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Always use cold butter for the best texture.
- Don’t overwork the dough—it should stay light.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
- Bake immediately after shaping for best results.
