Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line sheet tray with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cheese. Add cream and stir with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured counter top. Knead dough together by hand until smooth. Pat dough into a ¾-inch thick circle.
- Punch out dough rounds with a 2 ½ inch cutter. Push together remaining scraps of dough and pat until ¾-inch thick. Punch out as many rounds. Discard remaining scraps. *If you try to push scraps together again, they will not bake up as high and even as the other biscuits.
- Place biscuits on prepared sheet tray. Brush biscuit tops with heavy cream. Sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top, if desired. Bake for 20-22 minutes, rotating halfway, until biscuits are golden brown. Serve immediately.
