Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups unbleached organic all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp raw fine sugar
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 cup organic milk

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 450°
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and thyme.
  3. Cut cold butter into pieces using a grater or a pastry blender until mixture is course and crumbly, it’s similar to pie pastry. Stir in cheese.
  4. Pour in milk and stir with a fork just until dough comes together, then eventually use your hands to bring dough together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and using your hands to flatten dough. Fold the dough in half and then again. This technique will create layers of flaky biscuits.
  6. Pat and shape dough into a circle, minimum 3/4 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a 2 1/4 inch round cutter or a drinking glass with the similar roundness. Make sure you add flour to the cutter/glass so the dough doesn’t stick to it.
  7. Place cut biscuits onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until lightly brown, for about 12-15 minutes.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!
