Yield Makes 12 to 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine flour, salt, baking powder, cream of tartar, sugar, and cayenne.
  • Cut butter into pieces, and work it in with your fingers until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Stir in cheese.
  • Make a well in center of flour mixture, pour in milk, and stir with a fork just until dough comes together. Do not overmix. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 10 to 12 times.
  • Pat dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a floured 2-inch-round cutter. Do not twist cutter. Transfer biscuits to a lightly buttered baking sheet, and bake until brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

I'm not a big fan of cheddar cheese, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The biscuits were amazing. The cheese flavor was perfect and they were so fluffy and moist.

These biscuits were a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but they came out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Yum! I made these biscuits for a party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved them. They're so easy to make and they taste delicious.

Meh. They were okay. I thought they would be more flavorful, but they were kind of bland. I might try adding some herbs or spices next time.

These biscuits are the best! I've tried several different cheddar cheese biscuit recipes, and this one is by far my favorite. They're so cheesy and fluffy, and they always disappear quickly.

Not a fan. The biscuits were dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I might have overmixed the dough. I'll try again with a lighter hand next time.

Cheesy perfection! I followed the recipe exactly and my biscuits came out golden brown and fluffy on the inside. The cheddar cheese flavor was perfectly balanced - not too strong, not too mild. Definitely a keeper!
