Ingredients
Ingredients
unbleached flour
2 cups (sifted)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (none)
baking powder
1 tablespoon (none)
butter
1/4 cup (cold and cubed)
milk
2/3 cup (none)
extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup (grated)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the unbleached flour, salt, and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add the milk to the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4
Lightly flour a clean, flat surface, then turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough for about 30 seconds until it is slightly smoother. Roll the dough out to approximately 1/8 inch thick, forming a rectangle.
5
Evenly spread the grated cheddar cheese over the rolled-out dough, pressing it down gently to adhere.
6
Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight cylinder, almost like you would for cinnamon rolls. Ensure the cheese is securely within the roll.
7
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 3/4-inch thick pinwheels.
8
Place the pinwheels spaced out on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
9
Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Biscuit Pinwheels warm!
