Cheesy, light, and crispy, these biscuits make ideal dippers for the
stew ... unless you eat them all first.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick spray.

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in
butter with a pastry blender or two knives until pea-sized, then add
the cheese.

Whisk together buttermilk and egg, then stir into flour mixture just until incorporated. Portion batter onto the prepared baking sheet using an ice cream scoop or 1/4-cup measure. Bake biscuits until tops brown, about 15 minutes.
