Directions for: Quick and Easy Cheesy Biscuits
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour (250 ml)
1 cup whole wheat flour (250 ml)
1 Tbsp baking powder (15ml)
1 tsp baking soda (5ml)
tsp salt (2ml)
tsp granulated sugar (1ml)
pinch cayenne pepper (pinch)
cup shredded old orange cheddar (125ml)
cup shredded asiago cheese (50ml)
cup shredded carrot (50ml)
cup wheat germ (50ml)
cup unsalted butter, cubed (50ml)
1 cup buttermilk, approximately (300ml)
Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Sift flours into a large bowl with the baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and cayenne. Stir in the cheddar, asiago, carrot and wheat germ with a fork. Using your fingertips, rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Make a well in the centre and gradually pour in 1 cup/250ml of buttermilk, gently stirring with a fork until mixture just comes together. If mixture is really dry, add 1-2tbsp/15-30ml more buttermilk. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds. Pat into 1/2 inch/1 cm thickness and cut into 2 inch/5 cm rounds, repeating method with dough scraps. Place biscuits on the baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 F/220 C.
3. Brush tops of biscuits with about 1 tbsp/15 ml extra buttermilk and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until tops and bottoms of biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm with butter.
Tip: You could use freshly grated parmesan as a substitute for the asiago.
