Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Cut in the Butter:
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Corn:
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Add the Buttermilk:
- Pour in the buttermilk and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the Biscuits:
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
- Bake the Biscuits:
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg to give them a golden color. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
Cheddar Corn Biscuits are a savory and cheesy delight that’s perfect for any meal. With their buttery texture and bursts of sweet corn, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
