🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe by combining flour and leavening.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Measure 2 cups of all-purpose flour and add it to a mixing bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour and mix.

Cut in 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add 1 cup of half-and-half (or milk) to the mixture and mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.

Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix until combined.

Scoop small clumps of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, keeping them in mounds.

The recipe yields approximately 10 biscuits, but the creator made about 7 due to size variations.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
