Cheesy Biscuits from: Flipped for Murder
Cheesy savory biscuits. Author writes (With thanks to The Tassajara Bread Book for inspiration)
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour, plus extra for kneading
- 1 cup unbleached white flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter, cut in half-inch cubes
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese (I used cheddar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Cut butter into the flour mix, until mostly pea sized pieces.
- Make a well in the middle and add the eggs and milk, mixing with a fork in the well.
- Add the cheese and stir all with a fork, until liquid and cheese are just blended with the flour. Do not overmix.
- Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and on the dough.
- Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the surface, rubbing flour around the inside of the bowl until clean.
- Lightly knead the dough until it comes together.
- Flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough to a half-inch thickness.
- Fold in thirds. Roll, fold, and repeat several times.
- Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass and position on a baking sheet. You don't need more than half an inch in between.
- Bake for about ten minutes or until risen and golden brown on top.
- Serve warm with miso or meat gravy, apple butter, or honey.
