Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until well combined.
- Make the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Form the Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use a cookie scoop for even-sized biscuits.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm, with a pat of butter, or as a side to your favorite dish.
Notes
- Herbed Biscuits: Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley for a fragrant, flavorful twist.
- Spicy Kick: Stir in some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to add a little heat to your biscuits.
- Garlic Butter Biscuits: Brush the tops of the biscuits with garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven for an extra layer of flavor.
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different cheeses like gouda, parmesan, or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
