Fluffy Savoury Cheddar Cheesy Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). This initial high temperature ensures that the biscuits rise high and become flaky.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Drop the cold butter chunks into the flour mixture and cut them in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles rough crumbs. Here an essential tip for spectacular biscuits is using cold butter. It helps create those flaky layers we love in a biscuit.

Stir in the cheddar cheese. Make sure it's well distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Slowly add the milk and stir until just combined. It's important not to overmix the dough; we want it just well combined for fluffy and tender biscuits.

Scoop the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together.

Pat the dough out to about a 1/2-inch thickness and cut out the biscuits using a round biscuit cutter. Avoid twisting the cutter; Just push straight down and then up for biscuits that rise evenly.

Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Take them from the oven and immediately transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm.
