Directions
 

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon Salt, (see notes)
  • 1 Baking Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill, (you can substitute 1 1/2 tsp dried dill)

Step 2

In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, salt and dill. Whiz to combine and to chop the dill somewhat. (The type of cheese that goes into these biscuits is important because, while any type of firm cheese can really be used (cheddar, jack, etc), you will probably want to increase the salt by 1/4 teaspoon if your cheese is very mild.)

Ingredients

  • 2 1⁄2 tablespoons Butter, cold, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1⁄3 cup Sharp Cheddar, (plus a bit more for topping)

Step 3

Add in butter and pulse 6-8 times, making large crumbs. Add in cheese and pulse again to evenly distribute.

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons Milk

Step 4

Add 5 tbsp of milk and pulse until the mixture comes together, adding an additional tablespoon of milk, if necessary.
 

Step 5

Divide dough into four and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each with a bit (1 tsp or so) of cheese. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
