CHEDDAR DROP BISCUITS

Cheddar Drop Biscuits image

Sharp white cheddar and chives add extra flavor to these simple drop biscuits.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories Food & Cooking Breakfast & Brunch Recipes Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
6 ounces sharp white cheddar, shredded
1 1/3 cups buttermilk, well shaken
3 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower third positions. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper. Work butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingers until butter is incorporated and pea-size lumps remain. Stir in cheddar, then buttermilk and chives, just until dough comes together.
Using two spoons, drop 1/4 cup quantities of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
Bake in oven until golden brown, 12-14 minutes, rotating baking sheets once.

Tips:

Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers in the biscuits.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough.
Drop the dough onto the baking sheet: Don't roll or pat the dough out. Simply drop it onto the baking sheet.
Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown: The biscuits should be golden brown on top and bottom.
Serve the biscuits warm: Biscuits are best served warm out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These drop biscuits with cheddar and stilton are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a weeknight dinner to a holiday party. The biscuits are light and fluffy, with a cheesy and flavorful filling. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
