How to Make Cheese Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup cold shortening (Crisco or butter) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
- Add 3/4 cup buttermilk all at once and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
