Old Time Cheddar Biscuits are a classic American snack that have been enjoyed for generations. These flaky, cheesy biscuits are perfect as a side dish with dinner or as a snack on their own. They are easy to make and can be whipped up in no time. The combination of cheddar cheese and buttermilk gives these biscuits a tangy, savory flavor that is hard to resist. They are best served warm, straight from the oven when the cheese is still melting and the biscuits are at their flakiest.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
3.	Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4.	Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl and mix well.
5.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten egg.
6.	Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and, using a wooden spoon, mix until just combined.
7.	Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes, until the dough comes together.
8.	Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them onto the baking sheet.
9.	Brush the biscuits with melted butter.
10.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
11.	Serve warm and enjoy!
