How to cook deliciously - Cheese Biscuits

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. Stage

Whisk together the dry ingredients: In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cayenne, black pepper, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Stage

Add the butter, coat with flour, add cheese and scallions: Dice the butter into small pieces. If they get too warm then place them in a bowl and put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before continuing. Toss the diced butter with the flour mixture until well coated. (Again, if into tossing the butter gets hot in your hands place the whole mixture in the freezer for a few minutes.) Add the scallions and cheese and toss until well coated.

4. Stage

Add the buttermilk: Add the buttermilk and mix with your hands until it just comes together. You may find you need an extra dribble of buttermilk, if so then go right ahead but do so judiciously. Do not over-knead.

5. Stage

Roll out the dough, cut into squares: Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice; no more. Form into an 8x8-inch square and cut into 2x2-inch squares and top with a bit of high-quality salt if using.

6. Stage

Bake: Bake at 425°F for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden.
