Ingredients
- 3½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 9 tablespoon butter cold, shredded for best results
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1¾ cups milk cold
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.
- Cut the cold butter into pieces, and add it to the bowl with flour. Using a pastry cutter, or two knives cut into the butter until the butter forms into small peas. Add the cheese and milk to the bowl and continue mixing until the dough comes together. Use your hands if necessary.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and continue kneading a few times, do not over knead. Roll out the dough so that it's about half an inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter, you can also use a glass if you don't have a round cookie cutter, start cutting the biscuits. My cookie cutter was about 3 inches in diameter, so the biscuits are a pretty big size.
- Brush the biscuits with the egg wash and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes then let cool on a wire rack.

Notes
- Recipe will yield 12-15 biscuits, depending on size of them.
- Cold ingredients: Make sure to use cold butter and cold milk in this recipe, as it helps create those flaky layers we all love in biscuits. Cold butter creates pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a tender and flaky texture.
- Don't overwork the dough: When kneading and rolling out the dough, be gentle and avoid overworking it. Over-kneading can develop too much gluten, which will lead to tougher biscuits. A light touch ensures that your biscuits will be tender and flaky.
- Use a sharp cookie cutter or glass: When cutting out the biscuits, make sure to use a sharp-edged cookie cutter or glass to ensure clean cuts. This will help the biscuits rise evenly and maintain their shape during baking.
- Brush the tops with egg wash: Don't skip the egg wash step! Brushing the tops of the biscuits with egg wash before baking gives them a beautiful golden-brown color and a slightly crispy crust.
- Baking time: Keep an eye on the biscuits as they bake. Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking for doneness around the 20-minute mark. The biscuits should be golden brown on top and fully cooked through. If they're browning too quickly, you can tent them with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
