Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 biscuit cutter
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Add-ins
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup apple peeled and diced
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the diced cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently fold the mixture until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
Serving
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy them with butter or your favorite spread.
Storage
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can also be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
Notes
Pro Tips: For the flakiest biscuits, use cold butter and don't overwork the dough.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use different types of cheese such as gouda or mozzarella for a unique twist.
How to Serve: These biscuits are best served warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
Storage & Freshness: To maintain freshness, store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven before serving.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dough in advance and freeze the unbaked biscuits. Bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
