Cheddar-Thyme Flaky Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.5 cup butter or margarine
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.5 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or a fork until pea-sized. Make a well in center of the mixture; add milk, Cheddar cheese, and thyme to the well. Gently stir until a soft dough forms.
3. Roll or pat dough out on a floured surface to ¾-inch thick; cut into circles and place on a baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until biscuit bottoms are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
