Ingredients
2 1/4cupflour
4teaspoonsbaking powder

1/2cupunsalted butter
4ouncessharp cheddar cheese
1/3cupsour cream
3/4cup whole milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Grate the butter and cheese in a food processor or using a box grater. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add in the grated butter and cheese and mix to evenly disperse. Once the butter and cheese are evenly coated in the flour, stir in the sour cream and all but a couple of tablespoons of the milk. Stir to combine. When it gets too difficult to mix with a spoon, switch to your hands. If any dry bits of flour remain, drizzle the remaining milk over them. Knead quickly into a ball.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Here you'll do a couple of folds to make lots of layers in the biscuits and form the dough into a nice square. Press it out into a 1-inch thick circle. Fold the top and bottom edges in (like folding a letter in thirds) and press it back out to 1-inch thickness. Now you'll have a long piece of dough. Fold the right and left sides in toward the middle and press out again into a roughly 7-8 inch square that's 1-inch thick. Cut into 16 squares, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, until biscuits are browned and cooked through.
