Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    Add cold butter cubes and pinch with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in shredded cheddar until evenly distributed throughout.

  5. Step 5

    Pour buttermilk over dry ingredients and stir with a fork until just combined; dough will be shaggy.

  6. Step 6

    Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.

  7. Step 7

    Cut into 8 biscuits using a knife or 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.

  8. Step 8

    Bake until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Tops should feel firm when touched.

  9. Step 9

    Cool biscuits on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then serve warm.
