Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne, and salt. Whisk gently to blend the dry ingredients.
-
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the unsalted butter and sharp cheddar cheese until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Alternatively, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Add the buttermilk to the mixture and stir until just blended; be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
-
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
These Cheddar Drop Biscuits are perfect for serving alongside soups, stews, or as a tasty snack on their own. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness straight from the oven, and savor every delicious bite!
