These fluffy cheddar biscuits feature a perfect balance of tender, flaky insides and a golden, crispy crust. Quick and easy to make, they are perfect for brunch, potlucks, or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (110 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
  4. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly through the dough.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until smooth.
  6. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  7. Lightly flour your work surface and gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Fold the dough over itself 3 times like folding a letter.
  8. Pat the dough again to about 1 inch thickness. Using a 2 ½-inch (6 cm) round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits by pressing straight down without twisting. Gather scraps, pat out, and cut more biscuits until dough is used.
  9. Place biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet for soft sides or spaced apart for crustier edges.
  10. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep butter and buttermilk cold to create flaky layers. Do not overmix the dough to maintain fluffiness. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to keep edges sharp. Freshly shredded cheddar cheese melts better than pre-shredded. If baking powder is old, biscuits may not rise well.
