Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 1 cup Gouda cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
• 0.75 cup milk (cold)
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (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, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded Gouda cheese and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the cold milk, gently stirring with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, reshape, and cut additional biscuits.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create the egg wash. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the egg wash.

Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
