Recipe

Make Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper and onion powder. Add butter and use fingers or pastry blender to pinch and toss, until mixture has tiny clumps throughout. Stir in cheddar, then sour cream. (The mixture will seem crumbly, but it will come together, I promise.)
3. Flour counter and dump out dough and any unmixed floury bits. Knead once or twice to bring together. Pat dough into 1″-thick square, then divide in quarters using a knife or bench scraper. Stack quarters, and repeat. Transfer stacked dough to prepared baking sheet and pat into 3/4″-thick square. Place sheet in freezer for 7 to 10 minutes, until cool and semifirm to touch. Remove from freezer and use sharp knife to trim ¼” of dough from each side. Cut trimmed dough into nine 2″ square biscuits and space out on sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
4. Bake biscuits for 16 to 19 minutes, until deep golden brown in colour with some cheese melted in crisp puddles around edges. Enjoy immediately.
