Step 3: Add the cheese
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. Make sure it is evenly spread throughout the dough so every bite has cheesy flavor.
Step 4: Add the milk
Slowly pour in the cold milk while mixing gently. Stir just until the dough comes together.
⚠️ Important: Do not overmix. Overmixing will make the biscuit sticks dense instead of soft and flaky.
Step 5: Shape the dough
Lightly flour a surface and turn out the dough. Gently press it into a rectangle about 1–1.5 cm thick.
Then, use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into long stick shapes.
You can make:
- Thin crispy sticks (like breadsticks)
- Thick soft sticks (like biscuit fingers)
Step 6: Prepare for baking
Place the sticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave a small gap between each one.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Optional: sprinkle extra cheddar cheese or herbs on top.
Step 7: Bake
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 12–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
Step 8: Cool and serve
Let them cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances the texture.

Tips for Perfect Biscuit Sticks
- Always use cold butter for flaky layers
