dropped cheddar bay buttermilk biscuits
Updated on Nov 11, 2024
The best of two worlds. A combination of cheddar bay and buttermilk biscuits. Light, tangy, and moist. Buttermilk is a leavening agent and needs to be cooked soon after mixing; otherwise, the bubbles will deflate, leading to heavy, dense-textured biscuits.

- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

How To Make dropped cheddar bay buttermilk biscuits
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, whisk together baking mix, sugar, and salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and about the size of peas. Add shredded cheese. Now, gradually add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
-
Step 3Resist the temptation to cut the butter into pieces that are smaller than peas; bigger butter pieces mean taller, flakier biscuits. Use full-fat buttermilk, and give the container a good shake before measuring.
-
Step 4Using a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp/1 oz), place dough on the baking sheet spaced a couple of inches apart. Gently press down the top of the biscuits with your buttered knuckles until about 1 inch tall.
-
Step 5Bake until lightly golden brown, 16-18 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes.
-
Step 6Combine melted butter, garlic, onion, and parsley.
-
Step 7Remove biscuits from oven and brush with butter mixture immediately.
-
Step 8Biscuits can be prepared through step 3 and frozen in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag for up to 2 months. Bake frozen biscuits as directed for 30 to 35 minutes.
