Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese.
5. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until the dough comes together.
6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it forms a cohesive ball.
7. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each biscuit.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
