How to Make Best Cheese Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Add the cooking oil and milk; stir until a soft dough forms. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Roll the dough to 3/4 to 1 inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a knife to cut out biscuits.
- Place biscuits close together on an ungreased baking sheet for moist sides, or 1 inch apart for crispier biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm, with butter or your favorite dipping sauce.
