How to Make Fluffy Cheddar Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup buttermilk.
- Mix gently until just combined. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon or two of flour at a time, mixing minimally.
- Avoid overmixing; a slightly shaggy dough is fine.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface.
- Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them close together on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Gather the scraps, gently pat them to 1-inch thickness, and cut out additional biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
