Cheddar Herb Biscuits
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 ½ cups All-purpose flour 🥯
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (for that extra cheesy bite!) 🧀
- ½ cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed 🧈
- 1 cup Cold buttermilk 🥛
- 1 tbsp Baking powder 🧂
- 2 tsp Dried herbs (Rosemary and Thyme work perfectly!) 🌿
- ½ tsp Garlic powder 🧄
- A pinch of salt 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Whisk the Dry: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and your dried herbs. 🥣🌪️🌿
- Cut in the Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the cold butter cubes into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. 🧈🤏✨
- The Cheesy Mix: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour. 🧀🤝💎
- Add the Liquid: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t overwork it! 🥛🥄🥯
- Scoop & Bake: Use a large spoon or measuring cup to drop rounded mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet as seen in the photo! 📐🥯✨
- Bake to Perfection: Bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes. You’re looking for those beautiful, toasted golden-brown tops with visible bits of melted cheese! ⏲️📈🔥
- Serve: Brush with a little extra melted butter while they’re hot and pile them high on a plate! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Flaky” Secret: Keep your butter and buttermilk as cold as possible right up until you mix them! This creates those irresistible steam pockets for a lighter, fluffier biscuit. 🧊🛡️💎
- The “Herb” Hack: If you have fresh rosemary on hand, finely chop it and sprinkle a little extra on top of the biscuits before they go into the oven for a professional, bakery-style finish! 🌿🎯✨
