Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded Cabot sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm, ideally with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
Tips
- For a twist, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or thyme to the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste and added nutrition.
- These biscuits freeze well! Just freeze them after baking and reheat in the oven when ready to serve.
