Turkuaz Kitchen Cheddar Biscuits Ingredients

• 2 1/2 Cups Flour
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 Tsp Granulated Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Baking Powder

• 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)

How to Make Turkuaz Kitchen Cheddar Biscuits

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 420°F (215°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, granulated sugar, garlic powder, and baking powder.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add cubes of cold butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like small chickpea-sized pieces.
4. Add Buttermilk and Cheese: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and gently mix everything by hand.
5. Prepare the Dough: Place the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold one side of the dough into the center, then fold the other side over it (like folding a letter). Roll out the dough again to a 1-inch thick rectangle.
6. Cut the Biscuits: Using a cookie cutter cut out the biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the lined baking sheet.
7. Optional Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the biscuits with an egg wash if desired (optional).
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14-17 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
9. Finish and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Use Cold Butter: Ensure your butter is very cold before you start. Cold butter helps create flaky layers in your biscuits.
• Don’t Overmix the Dough: Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.
• Keep the Buttermilk Cold: Cold buttermilk helps keep the butter solid, which is crucial for the texture of the biscuits.
• Proper Folding Technique: When folding the dough, make sure to fold it like a letter to create layers. This technique helps make the biscuits flaky.
• Brush with Butter Immediately: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter right after they come out of the oven. This adds flavor and makes them extra delicious.
