This was one time that I used rye flour, and it did not taste like health food. These legitimately tasted like large form, dense, soft Cheez-Its, and I couldn’t believe my mouth. You can split them in half and make a bigature Cheez-It breakfast sandwich. Next time I will try these with white cheddar, because everyone knows that White Cheddar Cheez-Its are the Cheez-s***. I just wrote that. But it’s true.
Also, this is one time when calling something “adult” does not mean that I included booze. I wonder what alcohol pairs best with Cheddar? OMWORD YOU GUYS, try switching out the buttermilk for beer!*!*!* Please try that.

Three Cheese Rye Biscuits
Adapted from Huckleberry
1 1/2 cups rye flour
3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup butter, cold, cubed
1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons (160 grams) cream cheese, cold, cubed
2 cups (160 grams) Cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 cup (55 grams) Parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 cup cold buttermilk
1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
Whisk together all dry ingredient up until the cream cheese in a large bowl. Dump in the butter and cream cheese, rubbing it in with the fingers until pea-sized clumps form. Dump in the rest of the cheeses and the buttermilk, stirring together until dough starts to come together.
Quickly dump onto a lightly-floured surface and knead a few times, flattening out dough and turning it onto itself. You should still be able to see some clumps of butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, press the dough into the measure and turn out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, making 12-15 little mounds. Sprinkle with salt.
Freeze the baking sheets from 30 minutes-2 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bake for 20 minutes, removing when biscuits are going golden.
