手順

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   約5 分

2. 2

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

   約1 分

3. 3

   Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

   約3 分

   調理のヒント： Working quickly helps keep the butter cold, which is key for flaky biscuits.

4. 4

   Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

5. 5

   Pour in the cold milk and mix with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough biscuits.

   調理のヒント： The dough will be shaggy and slightly sticky.

   調理のヒント： Avoid kneading too much.

7. 7

   Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and gently pat it down again to 1-inch thick. Repeat this folding and patting process 2-3 more times to create flaky layers.
