Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 Cup salted butter very cold
- 1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese approximately 4 oz
- 1/2 Cup fresh dill chopped
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 Cup milk
Butter Topping
- 1/4 Cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
- 2 Tbsp fresh dill chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cut butter into cubes and add to the flour. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped dill.
- Add the beaten egg and milk and stir just until combined. It's ok if it feels a bit wet as we are dropping these biscuits, not rolling.
- Drop biscuits by heaping spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup each) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with non-stick spray leaving about an inch of space between them to rise.
- Place the biscuites into the oven for 20-22 minutes until risen and lightly golden.
- Once you remove the biscuits from the oven mix the melted butter, granulated garlic and 2 tbsp of fresh dill in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter over the biscuits before serving.
