How to make?
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
¾ cup buttermilk
Directions
1. In a bowl of a stand mixer, or by hand using a fork mash the cheese. 2. Mix in the butter, heavy or sour cream, and egg yolk. 3. Stir in the flour, salt, chili powder, and thyme , mixing until smooth. 4. Gather the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and chill the dough for a few hours, until firm. 5. To bake the biscuits, preheat the oven to 400ºF . Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, or use non-stick baking sheets. 6. Roll the dough on a floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut the biscuits, then set them evenly spaced apart on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of egg wash. 7. Bake the biscuits for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets midway during baking. When the biscuits have puffed a bit and the tops are well-browned, remove them from the oven and cool the trays on a wire rack.
