Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks) divided
  • 1 cup grated cheddar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 20 small slices cheddar (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt to combine. Cut 14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) butter into the flour mixture and, using your fingers or a pastry blender, mix butter and flour together until mixture resembles wet sand. Add cheddar and toss until coated with flour, then add milk and buttermilk and mix until dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured cutting board and roll dough out until mixture is about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into 20 evenly sized pieces and place on a baking sheet; top with cheddar (optional). Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and brush over buns. Bake until cheese is melted and buns have begun to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with with butter.
