Cheddar Biscuits

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  In a glass measuring cup, whisk buttermilk and egg together until combined; chill in the fridge.

  In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Add butter and toss to coat. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until the pieces are pea-sized or smaller. Put bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill. Stir in cheese. Pour in buttermilk mixture and stir until fully mixed and a thick dough forms.

  Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat out to 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 3-inch rounds, re-rolling scraps as needed. Arrange on prepared sheet pan and brush tops with half the melted butter. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
