Sriracha-Cheddar Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with Silpat liners or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. 2
   For the biscuits, mix the milk and Sriracha sauce until well blended. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
3. 3
   Whisk the flour, cayenne pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and work with a pastry blender or 2 forks until the mixture resembles wet sand. Pour in the milk/Sriracha mixture and stir just until the milk is absorbed. Mix in the cheese, careful not to overmix.
4. 4
   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky, using a little more flour as needed. Roll into a circle about 1/2-inch thick.
5. 5
   Cut the biscuits to the desired shape and place on a Silpat-lined or parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. 6
   For the brushing mixture, in a small bowl, mix the milk and Sriracha together until blended. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the mixture.
7. 7
   Bake in the prepared oven for 14-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
