Cheddar Dill Biscuits

2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
8 Tbsp (1-stick) butter, cubed and very chilled
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450F.  Mix the four, sugar and salt together in a food processor.  Pulse in the butter, just until an even coarse mixture is formed.  Transfer dough to a mixing bowl.  Stir in the cheese, red pepper and dill.  Then stir in the milk just until incorporated.

Tip the batter out to a clean counter, dusted with flour.  Gently roll dough out to about 12x12-inch square.  Fold one third of one side over, and then fold other side over.  gently roll dough out to a 12x12-inch square again.  Repeat the rolling over and once again roll out to about a 12x12-inch square.   Cut out biscuits with a cutter or a glass.  Place on a well oiled baking sheet or one covered with parchment paper.  Using a pastry brush, glaze top of each biscuit with milk.  Bake about 12-15 minutes.

Makes 15-18 biscuits.
