Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Fold in the shredded turkey and cheddar cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Slowly pour in the cold milk, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- 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 additional biscuits until all dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy your turkey and cheese biscuits.
Tips
- Keep your butter ice-cold: The secret to flaky, tender biscuits is using cold butter and handling it minimally. Cut it into small cubes and work quickly to maintain its temperature.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until the ingredients come together. Overmixing will develop gluten and result in tough biscuits.
- Use fresh, high-quality cheese: Sharp cheddar provides the best flavor, but feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like thyme or chives to the dough.
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use a clean drinking glass to cut out your biscuits.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These biscuits are at their absolute best when they're warm and fresh out of the oven.
- Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain their crispy exterior.
