Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Place shredded cheese and cut-up butter in freezer for 10 minutes.

2. Step2

   Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add cheese; toss to combine. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

3. Step3

   Add buttermilk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing until dough holds together.

4. Step4

   Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 10x8-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle crosswise into thirds. Stack the pieces to form three layers. Pat roll into 3/4-to-1-inch-thickness. Using a 2-1/4-to-2-1/2-inch round cutter, cut dough into biscuits.

5. Step5

   Place biscuits 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Mix together egg and water in a small bowl; lightly brush biscuit tops with egg mixture. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
