Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • knife and cutting board
  • baking sheet
  • digital scale or dry measuring cups
  • measuring jug
  • cheese grater
  • portion scoop optional

Ingredients
 
 

  • 340 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoons black pepper ground
  • 250 millilitres milk
  • 125 millilitres olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 125 grams sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place an oven rack into the middle of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix to combine using a whisk or a fork.
  • Add the grated cheese and sliced green onions to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  • In a small bowl or measuring jug, combine the milk, olive oil, dijon mustard, and vinegar. Stir to mix all the ingredients well.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a fork to mix gently until you have a homogenous dough.
  • Using a portion scoop or two soup spoons, scoop the dough into balls that are slightly larger than golf balls and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet leaving 1-2 inches in between each one. You should have approximately 12 dough balls.
  • Bake the biscuits at 450 F for 12-16 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown. If your oven heat is uneven, you may need to rotate the baking sheet after 8 minutes of baking.
  • Transfer the biscuits to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before diving in.
