SWEET CORN PEPPERED-WHITE CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Category: Bread

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/4 cups grated white cheddar cheese
3/4 cup fresh supersweet corn (frozen if possible)
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 large eggs, divided use
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper and garlic powder until well combined; whisk in white cheddar and corn until combined. Knead in butter using fingertips or a fork, until well incorporated and mixture starts to form pea sized lumps and clump together.

In an additional large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, sour cream and milk until well combined. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined and dough is moistened (do not overmix). Using a cookie scoop, place heaping tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining egg and a teaspoon of water until combined; evenly brush over the tops of dough.

Bake 16-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

Makes about 18 biscuits
