INGREDIENTS:
1 c whole wheat flour, plus extra for kneading
1 c unbleached white flour
1 T baking powder
½ t salt
½ c butter, cut in half-inch cubes
2 eggs
½ c milk
1 c grated pepper jack or sharp cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the dry ingredients.
Cut butter into the flour mix, until mostly peasized pieces. Make a well in the middle and add the eggs and milk, mixing with a fork in the well.
Add the cheese and stir all with a fork, until liquid and cheese are just blended with the flour. Do not overmix.
Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and on the dough. Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the surface, rubbing flour around the inside of the bowl until clean.
Lightly knead the dough until it comes together.
Flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough to a half-inch thickness. Fold in thirds. Roll, fold, and repeat several times.
Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter or drinking glass and position on a baking sheet. You don’t need more than half an inch in between.
Bake for about ten minutes or until risen and golden brown on top.
Serve warm with miso or meat gravy, apple butter, or honey.
