Quick and easy Cheddar cheese biscuits are light and flaky. They are perfect for sliders and breakfast sandwiches or just eating slathered with good butter! So easy you definitely don't need a mix.
15 Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
0 Preheat the oven to 450F.
1 Add the flour and sugar to a large bowl and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes if you have time. If not go on to the next step.
2 Grate the butter into the flour, mixing often to keep it covered with flour and so it doesn't stick together
3 Add the shredded Cheddar cheese and gently blend.
4 Stir in the buttermilk, a little at a time, just until the dough holds together and leaves the sides of the bowl.
5 If the dough breaks apart and crumbles add a tablespoon or two more buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a ball.
6 Pat out biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface. You should see streaks of cheese and streaks of butter in the dough.
7 Gently pat it to 3/4 inch thick.
8 Cut straight down with a biscuit cutter.
14 Gather remaining dough together and cut more biscuits.
9 Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with sides touching for soft sides or 1 inch apart for crusty sides.
10 Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of cheese on the top of each biscuit.
11 Place in the freezer for 15 minutes if you have time.
12 Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and done all the way through.
13 Serve hot.
