Equipment

  • Cheese grater
  • 3" Ring cutter

Ingredients
 
 

  • 560 g All-purpose flour
  • 2½ Tbs Baking powder
  • 2 Tbs Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 128 g Butter, unsalted Cold
  • 375 g Buttermilk
  • 1 ea Whole eggs
  • 1 Tbs Black pepper, ground plus extra for garnish
  • 3 cups Sharp cheddar cheese Shredded
  • Egg wash
  • Flaky sea salt For garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat and set aside.
  • Combine the dry ingredients together (except the black pepper) and slice the butter into ¼" slices. Add the butter to the dry ingredients.
  • Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour to create long, flat flakes. Continue until all butter pieces are flat and evenly dispersed throughout the flour.
  • Add in the buttermilk, egg, black pepper, and cheddar cheese and hand mix until a dough comes together. Don't overmix and overwork the flour! It's okay to have some loose crumbles.
  • On a floured surface, roll to about one-inch thick. Do a trifold by folding one third onto itself and the remaining third on top. Roll down to one-inch thick.
  • Using your three-inch ring cutter, cut out your biscuits and place roughly two-inches apart on your prepared sheet pan.
  • Place in the fridge for 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 375℉.
  • Scramble one egg and brush the tops of the biscuits. Top with pepper and flaky sea salt.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, rotating half way through or until the tops are golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
