Black Pepper Cheddar Biscuits
These black pepper cheddar biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as an appetizer. They are delicious!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper can use regular pepper
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup more or less buttermilk
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Grate butter or cut into very small pieces and mix into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in shredded cheese and add buttermilk. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat or roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness. I cut my biscuits with a 2 inch square biscuit cutter but you can use a round cutter, a glass or whatever works for you.
- Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and bake in preheated 425 degree oven 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 12 biscuits depending on size you make them.
Notes
I melt extra butter and brush on top of uncooked biscuits and sprinkle on extra pepper before cooking.
