Sharp Cheddar Biscones
Biscones combine the flaky, buttery layers of a biscuit with the sturdy structure of a scone, creating the perfect base that won't fall apart when loaded with your creative sandwich fillings. They're essentially engineered breakfast bread - tender enough to bite through easily but strong enough to hold everything from your smoky bacon combinations to hearty egg scrambles. Think of them as the ultimate sandwich foundation that actually improves with each bite instead of getting soggy.

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
-
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a fork, your hands, or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in shredded cheese and continue to cut the flour until the cheese is crumbly. Mix buttermilk into flour mixture until dough starts to stick together.
-
Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch thick circle. Cut dough into 4 wedges and then into 8 wedges using a sharp knife. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until biscones are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
