Step 1

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder, and optionally Old Bay seasoning. Whisk thoroughly until homogeneous.

Step 2

Cut the butter into half-inch, evenly sized cubes. Shred your cheese here, too.

Step 3

Add the flour and butter to a food processor, and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed in pea-sized clumps. Add the cheddar and pulse a little bit more until also combined.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a bowl and slowly stream in the buttermilk while stirring. Once a dough comes together, dump out onto a well floured work surface and knead lightly until it comes together.

Step 5

Roll the dough into a rough rectangle, fold into 3rds, and roll lengthwise into a longer strip. Repeat this step once more. The dough should be a small, thick rectangle at this point. Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 425° F

Step 7

Mix the egg with the buttermilk in a bowl. Set asside.

Step 8

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Flour your works surface, dump out the dough, and flour the top of it. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle that's about 3/4 of an inch thick, and begin cutting out biscuits, with either a cutter or a knife. If making round biscuits, all the scrap dough can be re-rolled and cut, but the biscuits will look noticeably different. Square biscuits avoid this.

Step 10

Place your biscuits on the baking sheet, and brush them down lightly with the egg wash.

Step 11

Place in the oven and bake at 425° F for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
