Step-by-Step Preparation Guide
Follow these simple steps to create culinary magic in your own kitchen:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mixing: In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, dried rosemary, garlic powder, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- Incorporating Butter: Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring the butter is evenly distributed.
- Creating the Dough: Gently stir in the buttermilk until a soft dough forms, taking care not to overmix. The dough should come together easily without being overly sticky.
- Shaping the Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle approximately 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out individual biscuits.
- Baking Brilliance: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a light coating of buttermilk and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for an extra layer of indulgence.
- Golden Perfection: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are beautifully golden brown and puffed up to perfection.
- Serving Suggestions: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving, then enjoy them warm with a generous spread of butter or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
