Cheddar and Thyme Biscuits

Posted by Carole Koch

1 1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups (packed) grated cheddar cheese (8 oz)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut in 1/2-inch cubes

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix buttermilk and thyme in a small bowl. Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Add cheese and butter; rub with your fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Add buttermilk mixture and stir until soft moist clumps form. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; press out to thickness of 1/2" and cut out biscuits with a 2" round cookie cutter. Gather scraps and press to 1/2" thick to cut additional biscuits. Transfer to two un-greased baking sheets, spacing 2" apart. Bake 10 minutes. Reverse position of sheets and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes longer. Transfer biscuits to racks. Best served warm!

Makes 28 biscuits.
