Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Carrot (grated)
• 0.5 cup Zucchini (grated, excess moisture squeezed out)
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk (cold)
• 1 whole Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Fold in the grated carrot, grated zucchini (ensure excess moisture is removed to avoid soggy dough), and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the cold milk into the mixture and gently stir until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the biscuits tough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together into a cohesive ball.

Step 7

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle and use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Re-roll the scraps as needed to make 8 biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Optional: If you’d like a golden finish, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
