Step by Step Method

Step 1

Dust a large baking sheet generously with all-purpose flour; set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly, with a few larger pieces. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the gouda cheese.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk with potatoes until smooth; pour over dry ingredients. With fork, toss together until soft ragged dough forms. Turn out onto floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times until dough holds together.

Step 4

Pat out into 9 x 6-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise in half; cut crosswise in sixths to make 12 finger-shaped biscuits.

Step 5

Arrange on prepared pan, Brush with egg yolk; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in centre of preheated 400°F oven until golden, about 18 minutes.

My wife made these and used fresh parmesan cheese instead of the gouda. They came out so good. We loved them with spaghetti and meatballs!
