directions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
  • Cut in butter a piece at a time until mixture looks like large crumbs.
  • Add buttermilk and cheese. Mix until combined, flouring your hands as needed, until it sticks together. If it is too sticky, add in some more flour, a little at a time.
  • Do not over mix.
  • Lightly flour a large work surface. Turn out the dough and flatten it to 1 in thickness.
  • Cut out rounds with a floured 2 inch round cutter. Keep spacing as close together as possible. Put the rounds on a baking sheet.
  • Collect any scraps, and, mixing as little as possible, flatten out to 1 in thickness again. Cut out any additional rounds you can.
  • Do not over mix.
  • Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
  • Bake until they look golden brown,. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Rotate the sheet after about 10 minutes.

  1. YUM!! very good biscuits, they turned out very flakey and melt in your mouth. I used grated frozen butter which help to make them fluffy and grated old cheddar. Served them with our ribs and salad for Labour Day. A lovely match, thanks for posting, I wil be making them again.
     
  2. Everyone loved them! The only change I made was sprinkling garlic powder over the tops. Yum! :)
     
  3. I made these in conjunction with CP's vegetable stew. I'm definitely NOT an experienced or frequent baker myself, but I was very pleased with how these biscuits came out - very light and cheddary. I've always had a penchant for buttermilk biscuits and these turned out just the way I like them. I made no changes at all to this recipe. Flour/buttermilk proportions seemed perfect.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a little house with my husband and my three "puppies" (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old they are). We have no children as of yet. I love to cook, but not to clean, and I won't cook unless my kitchen is clean, so I don't cook as much as I should. Some of my other hobbies are: role playing games, reading, SCA, garage saleing, and sewing. I am a pack rat, but I am trying to cut back on that, and I have far too many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.(If there is such a thing.)
