Petit Cheddar Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Unbleached flour
2 tablespoons	30ml	Toasted wheat germ
4 teaspoons	20ml	Baking powder - (level)
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
6 tablespoons	90ml	Cold butter - cubed
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Grated sharp Cheddar cheese - (1 oz)
3/4 cup	177ml	Buttermilk

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a baking sheet.

In the bowl of a mixer or food processor, combine the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, and salt and process briefly to combine. Add the butter and cheese and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour in the buttermilk, then process until the dough comes together, about 15 seconds. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Knead 3 times only, then pat into a circle 3/4-inch thick. Cut into petite biscuits, using a 1-inch biscuit cutter. Place the dough circles on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes in the upper third of the oven, until puffed and golden.

This recipe yields about 3 dozen biscuits.
