Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). |
| 2 | In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, pepper, baking soda, and salt. Blend until well combined. |
| 3 | Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture and pulse until a fine meal forms. |
| 4 | Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and mix in the shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese. |
| 5 | (Optional) This step can be done ahead of time. If preparing ahead, cover the mixture and chill for up to 4 hours. |
| 6 | Mix enough buttermilk into the flour mixture to form a dough. |
| 7 | Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it until combined, about 10 turns. |
| 8 | Pat the dough out to a thickness of 3/4 inch. |
| 9 | Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. |

| 11 | Transfer the biscuits to an ungreased baking sheet. |
| 12 | In a small bowl, beat the egg to make a glaze. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg glaze and sprinkle with poppy seeds. |
| 13 | Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, about 18 minutes. |
| 14 | Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness! |
