Cheddar Biscuits

Been craving them for awhile now and they were such a perfect side to the Chicken Stew. This recipe came from logging America's Test Kitchen viewing hours. Their biscuit recipe is one of the best my mom and I have come across in our cooking journeys. To make it fun, I tossed in some cheddar cheese.

Cheddar Biscuits


makes 12

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted (seriously, melted, not softened!!!!)
1 cup milk + 1 Tbsp vinegar (or 1 cup buttermilk if you stock that)
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (your favourite, as long as it has flavour to stand up to being melted into the dough)

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (seriously helps with melted cheese clean up!)
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, melt the butter in the microwave.
In a measuring cup, mix the milk and vinegar together and let stand a minute to start the reaction.
Pour the milk mix into the butter and stir. You should end up with little butter grains floating in the milk. Takes the need for a pastry cutter and careful stirring right out of the biscuit process.
Add the wet to the dry and stir until partially combined.
Add in the cheese and finish stirring everything together.
Spoon into 12 even lumps on the baking sheet.
Bake for 12-16 minutes, flipping them over at 7-8 minutes to get even browning.
Serve hot.

Yummy!
