Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving a crispy exterior on your biscuits.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of biscuit mix with the 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- Add the 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the dry mixture. Gently fold the cheese into the biscuit mix, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix them together until well combined.
- Pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly lumpy.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the biscuit dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should be able to make around 12 biscuits.
- Once all the dough has been placed on the baking sheet, place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen.
- After baking, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with additional melted butter for extra flavor.
- Serve the Cheddar Bay Drop Biscuits warm, either as a side dish or as a delicious snack. Enjoy!
Tips
- Don't overmix the dough! Gently combine ingredients until just mixed to ensure light, fluffy biscuits.
- Use fresh, high-quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor profile.
- For extra richness, use room temperature milk and butter.
- If you like extra cheesy biscuits, sprinkle some additional grated cheese on top before baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor – these biscuits are at their peak when warm and fresh out of the oven.
- For a golden, glossy finish, brush the tops with melted butter right after baking.
- Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispy texture.
