Cheese Biscuits Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour (gluten-free, if needed)
- 1–2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, tasty, or Gouda)
- 1 1/3 cups milk (almond milk used)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking tray and set it aside to prepare for baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, self-rising flour, and milk. Stir them together just until the ingredients are combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape the Biscuits: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the biscuit dough onto the greased baking tray. Shape them into dome-like mounds and space them evenly to allow room for rising and spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly golden on top and cooked through in the center, taking care not to overcook them.
- Serve or Store: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven. Enjoy them immediately for best flavor and texture, or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- Use self-rising flour to avoid adding extra leavening agents.
- Cheese type can be varied according to taste preferences (cheddar, tasty, Gouda recommended).
- Milk can be dairy or plant-based like almond milk for lactose-free options.
- Do not overmix dough to keep biscuits fluffy.
- Space biscuits adequately on the tray to prevent sticking.
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
