Ingredients

Scale

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp dried herbs (thyme or chives) (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional herbs until combined.
Cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Gradually add milk while mixing gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
