- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter grated
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1-1/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 T. baking powder, 1/4 t. baking soda, and 1 t. salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together to combine.
- Add the butter and the cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and combine. I like to use a fork at this stage to keep the heat from my hands away from the butter while I mix the ingredients.
- Make a well in the middle and pour buttermilk into the well. Combine with a fork.
- Lightly flour an area on the countertop. turn the Cheddar Biscuits mix out onto the counter and continue to gently combine with your hands if need be.
- Shape in a round and flatten out to about 1" thick.Run top of jelly jar in a bit of the flour on the counter and begin cutting biscuits. The jar may get sticky so if it does, just run it through some flour each time.
- Place biscuits in a Cast Iron Skillet.
- Bake for 20 mins. Check on them at 15 minutes just in case your oven runs hot. Bake until they are golden brown.
