Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Add the cold, cubed cream cheese to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cream cheese into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
- Gather the remaining dough scraps, gently re-pat, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are lightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, creamy biscuits as a side dish or breakfast accompaniment.
Tips
- Keep your cream cheese and butter extremely cold - this is the secret to achieving flaky, tender biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough; mix just until ingredients are combined to prevent tough biscuits.
- Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
- For extra richness, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.
- These biscuits are best served warm, so time your baking to coincide with mealtime.
- If you want extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle some additional cheddar on top before baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore their crisp exterior.
