CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the cream and stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it just forms a dough. Gather the dough into a ball and transfer to a flour-dusted surface. Pat into a 1/2-inch-thick circle and cut out rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Gently press the scraps together and cut out more rounds.
• Arrange the dough rounds, 1-inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets and brush with cream. Bake until the biscuits are just golden on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
