The recipe is an Ina Garten recipe from FoodNetwork.com. She's a smart lady.
The great thing about these biscuits is the fact that they don't come from a mix and they are still so easy. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They taste best when you nuke them in the microwave for a few seconds. The cheese melts a little bit and they are super good.
I bet these would be good with BACON.
That's happening.
Ingredients:
- 2 c. flour (more as needed)
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1-1/2 tsp. salt
- 1-1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1/2 c. buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 c. grated extra-sharp Cheddar
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp. water or milk
- Sea salt (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add butter and use pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly.
- Combine buttermilk and egg and beat lightly with fork.
- Mix with flour and butter mixture until just combined.
- In bowl, mix grated cheese with a small handful of flour until coated, then add to dough mixture until roughly combined.
