Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
- 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
Instructions
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.
- Add Cheese and Corn: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and corn kernels until evenly distributed.
- Add the Milk: Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Shape and Bake the Biscuits
- Form the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
