Instructions

Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning throughout the dough.
Cut in butter: Add the cold unsalted butter pieces to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which will help create a flaky biscuit texture.
Add milk and combine: Stir in the 3/4 cup of milk until just combined, careful not to overmix to keep the dough tender and light.
Knead and roll out dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle, preparing it for the stuffing layer.
Add stuffing and cheese: Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over half of the dough rectangle. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing to add richness and flavor.
Fold and seal: Fold the other half of the dough over the stuffing to enclose it and gently press the edges to seal the filling inside.
Cut biscuits: Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuit shapes from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow for rising.
Apply egg wash: Brush the tops of each biscuit with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color once baked.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Try different stuffing variations such as sausage and sage or cranberry and walnut to customize flavors.
These biscuits make a perfect side dish for holiday meals or a satisfying snack any time.
To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter alternatives.
Leftover biscuits can be reheated by wrapping them in foil and warming in the oven to maintain softness.
