 Preheat oven to 425. Take half a cup of milk and add a splash of vinegar and set aside. Line a tray with parchment. Important to have this ready to go. In a bowl, measure 21/4 cup A.P. flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt + 1/4 tsp garlic powder + 1/4 tsp paprika. Mix everything once. Add an egg to the milk and mix it well. Grate about a cup of good cheddar and a stick of cold butter with a box grater into the mix. Lightly mix everything, then add milk and egg mixture and bring the dough roughly together (I used my hands, but worked quickly to make sure the butter stays cold). Lightly form medium sized biscuits, place them in the tray and then bake the tray off for 15 or so minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on top.  https://preppykitchen.com/cheese-biscuit/
