Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 tsp baking powder

– 1/4 tsp salt

– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

– 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) to combine the dry ingredients.

3. In another bowl, mix together the grated cheddar cheese and softened butter until well combined.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese and butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.

5. Pour in the milk gradually while continuing to mix until a soft dough forms. If your dough is too sticky, add more flour in small increments until it becomes easier to handle.

6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-17 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Keep an eye on them as cooking times may vary depending on your oven and the size of your biscuits.

8. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Enjoy your homemade cheese biscuits with your favorite dips or spreads, or simply on their own.
