Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg (optional, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh dill until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the mixture and gently stir until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just a few times to bring it together.

Step 7

Pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits, re-rolling scraps as necessary.

Step 8

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

Step 9

If desired, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the biscuits for a golden finish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm. Optional: serve with butter for extra indulgence.
