Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
-
Combine Dry Ingredients
In the bowl of your KitchenAid stand mixer, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low until combined.
-
Add Butter
Add in the cold, cubed butter and mix on low until the butter is broken up and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Mix in Cheese and Pimentos
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced pimentos.
-
Add Buttermilk
Slowly pour in the buttermilk, mixing until the dough just comes together.
Shape and Bake Biscuits
-
Shape Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
-
Bake
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Note
If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough for a subtle kick, or swap the cheddar for a sharper cheese like pepper jack!
