   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      3/4           cup  kimchi -- (145g), drained, finely chopped
   258            grams  all-purpose flour -- (2C)
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
   2        tablespoons  brown sugar
      3/4           cup  sharp cheddar cheese -- (66g), shredded
   6        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- (85g), cold
   1                cup  buttermilk -- (240mL), cold

For more delicate biscuits, use 1 2/3 cups (214g) all-purpose flour 
and 1/3 cup (42g) pastry flour.

Stir-fry the chopped kimchi in a stainless-steel pan over medium heat 
until the juices have evaporated and the kimchi smells even more 
fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and brown sugar in a 
bowl, breaking up any lumps of sugar. Add the cheese and the cooled 
kimchi. Stir to combine; it's all right if the dough is scraggly.

On the large holes of a grater, grate the chilled butter over the 
other ingredients and stir to combine. You want the butter to be 
around the size of peas. While stirring, gradually add the buttermilk 
and stir until combined. Be careful to handle the dough as little as possible.

Drop the dough in 6 mounds onto a greased baking sheet. (If your 
baking sheet is nonstick, line it with parchment paper instead.) Pat 
the mounds gently into squares.

Put the biscuits on their baking sheet in a freezer to chill for at 
least 1 hour. Heat the oven to 425F.

Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the 
biscuits from the oven, and allow them to sit for several minutes 
before serving hot.

Tips: Save yourself the mess of grating butter: instead, melt the 
butter and allow to cool slightly. Add the butter to very cold 
buttermilk. The butter will sieze up into the perfect size bits. 
Continue with the recipe. It sounds strange, but works perfectly every time.

Also try chopping up cheddar cheese CURDS in place of the shredded 
cheddar block. The curds stay more intact so you get distinct blobs 
of melted cheese instead of a general cheesiness.
