Baked Cheddar and Herb Savory Biscuits

Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the biscuits.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and black pepper. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agent and seasonings.

3. Incorporate Butter:
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Mix in Cheese:
Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat together the whole milk and egg until well combined.

6. Form the Dough:
Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined and a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.

7. Shape the Biscuits:
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat and shape it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8. Bake the Biscuits:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

9. Cool and Serve:
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the best flavor.
