Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 0.75 cups Whole milk, cold
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

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.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chili flakes, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold milk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk.

Step 7

Cut out biscuits using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, re-rolling the scraps as needed to make additional biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm.
