Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a cast-iron skillet or 9-inch round baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the whole milk to the mixture, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula, until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to an even 3/4-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass, cut out biscuits. Lightly press the scraps together to cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Arrange the biscuits snugly in the prepared skillet or baking pan. Brush the tops with the lightly beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.

Step 10

Optional: Once the biscuits are out of the oven, sprinkle them with finely chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Step 11

Serve the Cheddar Pan Biscuits warm, either on their own or with a pat of butter.
