Ingredients 2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces ¾ cup buttermilk ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack on lower shelf. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with some pea-size lumps. Mix in buttermilk and cheese until combined. With a floured hand, knead dough against side of bowl until it holds together. If it is sticky, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour. After kneading biscuit dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough to 1 inch thick. With a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds as close together as possible. Place on a baking sheet. Gather scraps; pat again, and cut out more rounds. Brush the tops with 1/2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm. Originally appeared: Everyday Food, January/February 2004 Rate It PRINT
