Ingredients
  • 2 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon Wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoon Grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Grated Emmenthal cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Well-chilled butter, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 cup Cold water

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C).
  2. 2
    Lightly butter two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.

  4. 4
    Add the cut cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients.
  5. 5
    Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized butter chunks remaining.

    Stir in the grated white cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

    Gradually pour in the cold water, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just begins to come together. Do not overmix.

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  9. 9
    Gently pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
  10. 10
    Using a floured knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares or rounds.
  11. 11
    Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for rising.
  12. 12
    Bake for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown on top and cooked through.

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and flaky.
