From Scratch Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
- 7 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 cups dry powdered milk
- 1 pound cream cheese, cold
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus chilled butter for serving
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons table salt
- 3 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar
- Jam, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, powdered milk, cream cheese, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until the flour resembles coarse cornmeal.
- With the mixer running, slowly add the buttermilk and mix until a dough forms.
- Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough starts to stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
- Stop the mixer.
- Add the Cheddar and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds.
- (You don't want to break up the cheese.)
- Place the dough on a floured rolling surface and knead it 25 times, until the dough is soft and doesn't stick to your hands or the board.
- Roll out the dough to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out 36 biscuits with a biscuit cutter, transferring the biscuits to the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the biscuits, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Serve with butter and jam.
