Kittencal'S Easy Stir And Drop Cheese Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing on biscuits after baking)

Preparation

Set oven to 425 degrees F (400 degrees F for air-convection oven).
Generously grease a medium baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine the flour with the next 4 dry ingredients, then mix in the cheese.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in the microwave or on top of the stove, allow to cool at room temperature for 5 minutes while chilling the buttermilk.
Place the buttermilk in the the freezer for 5-7 minutes or until very cold but not frozen (the buttermilk needs to be very cold before adding in the melted butter).
Mix in the 1/2 cup melted butter to cold buttermilk; stir until butter forms small clumps (stir for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes).
Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients; stir gently using a spatula until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Scoop 1/4-cup batter onto prepared baking sheet spacing the dough about 1-1/2 inches apart.
Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
