Putting the cheese into the dough gives a better result than scattering it on top: melting as it bakes, the cheese leaves pockets inside the biscuit and lightens the texture. Grate the cheese finely, because coarsely grated cheese does not disperse through the dough.

Tips
- Grate the cheese finely; coarse gratings clump in the dough.
- The butter should be at room temperature, as melted butter makes the biscuits spread.
- They look soft as they leave the oven and harden as they cool. Do not overbake them.
