CHEDDAR AND BLACK PEPPER BISCUITS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the butter into small dice and freeze until ready to use. Combine the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, pepper and salt in a bowl. Add the frozen butter and blend in using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pieces no larger than green peas. Add all of the buttermilk at once and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (The mixture will look a little dry and uneven.) Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 3 to 4 minutes to make a smooth dough; add flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
- With well-floured hands and working on a well-floured surface, press the dough into a flat sheet, about 1 inch thick. Fold lengthwise into thirds (as you would fold a letter). Repeat this process 2 more times.
- After folding the dough the third time, roll the dough into a 3/4-inch-thick sheet using a rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough using a 3-inch cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and reroll until all the dough is used. (Cut biscuits can be refrigerated overnight.)
- Bake until golden and risen, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with Spiced Honey Butter.
- Combine the butter, honey, salt, garlic and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Transfer to ramekins, then chill to firm slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Spiced Honey Butter keeps, tightly wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 weeks.

What is Asiago Cheese and Black Pepper Biscuits?
Asiago cheese and black pepper biscuits are a savory pastry made with a combination of flour, butter, cheese, black pepper, and milk. These biscuits are a popular snack in Italy and have found their way into many homes and cafes around the world as they are easy to make and delicious to eat.The Ingredients
Flour
Flour is the backbone of any biscuits recipe, including Asiago cheese and black pepper biscuits. All-purpose flour is the most suitable flour to use when making biscuits as it has a lower protein content than bread flour, which can cause the biscuits to be tough and chewy.Butter
The fat content in butter is essential to add tenderness and flakiness to the biscuits. Cold unsalted butter is recommended for this recipe, as salted butter may affect the flavor of the biscuits.Cheese
Asiago cheese is the star ingredient in this recipe. It is a semi-hard Italian cheese that has a creamy and nutty flavor. When used in biscuits, it adds an extra level of richness and depth of flavor, making the biscuits irresistible.Black Pepper
Black pepper is a crucial ingredient in Asiago cheese and black pepper biscuits recipe as it gives the biscuits a distinctive flavor and aroma. Freshly ground black pepper is the best option as pre-ground black pepper may have lost some of its potency.Milk
Milk is the liquid component of the biscuit dough that binds everything together. Whole milk is best, as it has a higher fat content making the biscuits tender and moist.The Recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives, until the mixture looks like coarse sand with a few pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Add in the grated Asiago cheese and toss to combine.
- Slowly pour in milk and stir gently until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- Place the dough on a lightly-floured surface and knead it lightly until it comes together. Avoid over kneading dough as it will make the biscuits tough.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle shape, about ½ inch in thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to form the biscuits or use a knife to cut them into rectangular shapes.
- Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch of space between them.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
