- ¾ c. all-purpose flour
- 2 T. baking powder
- ¾ tsp. granulated sugar
- ¾ tsp. salt
- ¾ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ c. cold butter
- ¾ c. grated cheddar cheese
- ½ c. chopped green onions
- ½ c. whole milk
- Egg wash
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the cold butter into cubes that are about the size of a bouillon cube. Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture and pinch and mix the butter into the flour until a course crumb forms - a bit like lightly moist sand.
Add the grated cheddar cheese and green onions to the flour mixture; stir lightly.
Drizzle the milk into the flour mixture and stir gently. Lightly press the components together so that a dough forms. Do not overwork the dough!
Shape the dough into a circle with your fingers and wrap it with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Once the dough has had time to rest in the fridge, roll out the dough until about 1/2” thick. Cut out 2.5″ circles with a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or thoroughly washed and dried empty tuna can and place on baking sheet. Space them about 2” apart. Brush the tops of the biscuits with an egg wash to help create a glossy finish for your biscuits.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
