Ingredients
- 400 g all-purpose flour about 3 1/4 cups
- 8 g kosher salt 1 heaping tsp
- 20 g granulated sugar about 2 Tbsp
- 24 g baking powder about 2 Tbsp
- 140 butter about 10 Tbsp, unsalted
- 230 g milk 1 cup, whole
- 100 g cheddar cheese about 2 cups, grated
Instructions
- Twenty minutes before starting, place the butter in the freezer.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Grate partially frozen butter over the flour mix, using a cheese grater.
- Mix well using a fork.
- Pour in the milk and mix the ingredients together using a spatula.
- Add the mix-ins, if any, and mix together.
- Turn the dough onto a generously floured work surface, dust the top with flour, and press into a rectangle about 3/4” thick, incorporating any loose pieces. Use a metal scraper to lift the dough and add more flour underneath. Now, using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 1/2" thick rectangle. Fold like you would an envelope, dust with more flour, and roll out to ½” thick. Rotate 90 degrees and repeat folding and rolling out. Then rotate 90 degrees and repeat folding and rolling out two more times, making it a total of 4 times folding and rolling out.
- Cut out biscuits using a 3” round cookie cutter. Gather the cut-offs, roll them out again and cut more biscuits. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing out at least ½’, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Ideally, place them in a refrigerator or a very cool room.
- Twenty minutes before baking, preheat to 500F.
- Whisk the egg yolk with one teaspoon of milk in a small bowl. Brush the tops of biscuits with the egg wash.
- Transfer the biscuits to the oven, lower the temperature to 450F, or 425F if using convection (preferred).
- Bake for 8 minutes, rotate the baking pan and bake for additional 6-8 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen about 1.5 times, and the tops and the bottoms of the biscuits are rich golden brown.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for 3 minutes before serving.
