Cheddar Biscuits

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop portions of dough onto a lined baking tray.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

How to Make (Tips for Best Results)

  • Measure ingredients accurately for consistent results.
  • Use cold butter straight from the fridge to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Mix dry ingredients thoroughly before adding butter and cheese.
  • Handle the dough gently and avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light.
  • Shape the dough into rough rounds without pressing too firmly.
  • Place biscuits slightly apart for even baking.
  • Bake immediately after shaping for the best rise.
