These savory biscuits are a delightful twist on traditional scones, featuring a rich cheesy flavor and a tender texture.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating the oven ensures even baking and a perfect rise for your biscuits.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Using cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Coating the cheese with flour prevents it from clumping together.
Add the yogurt to the mixture and stir with a fork until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it to a 1-inch thickness.
Handle the dough gently to maintain its light texture.
Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press straight down with the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm.
Serve with butter or your favorite spread for added flavor.
