these turned out great, I'm always on the hunt for good biscuit recipes and this is one I will make again, I just used plain yellow onion I didn't have any Vidalia also I omitted the shallot, I also added in in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, I used all cheddar cheese, thanks for sharing BK!

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #21* YUM !! Took these to a Debbate Party, and everyone gave them a 5 ! I used gruyere in place of jarlsberg, and the were truly tasty with chicken pot-pie (from Costco). Baked at 400 for 22 minutes, and was fearful they were not done, since inside was very moist. After cooling, and the cheeses re-solidified, had a wonderful buttery tase, with just a slight zing from lightly sprinkled cayenne. Thanks, BK -- these will be a great addition to many meals !.

What a nice little muffin that was just perfect with Recipe #211966 by Umberle. I really enjoyed putting the muffins into the soup like crackers. I cooked them for about 25 minutes just to get the edges a little crisp, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly. I got 12 muffins. Thanks for a great recipe BK!!

These were very good; like KITTEN, I added bit of garlic powder. Great with BBQ :) Thanks BabyKato for posting. Made for HOLIDAY TAG, September 2009.
