Cheddar Blue Cheese And Rosemary Drop Biscuits Food

DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
• Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
• In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
• Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

ROSEMARY CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix by hand until incorporated.
• Transfer to a mixer in small batches and process in short bursts until better is 'cut in." This insures the fat is well dispersed throughout the dough. If you prefer you can also do this step by hand.
• Do not over-mix to avoid chewy biscuits.
• Dough will be sticky.
• Using a small 3/4" ice cream scoop (larger if you prefer larger biscuits), portion out onto a non-stick baking pan (cover pan with parchment and spray with Pam) and bake at 375º for 8 minutes.

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.

CHEESE & ROSEMARY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Put the flours in a bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the cheese and rosemary, then add the yolk and mix in using a fork. When the mix starts to clump together, use your hands to knead to a smooth dough.
• Take walnut-sized pieces of dough, roll into balls and place on one or two lined baking trays. Flatten slightly with a fork, then bake for 12-14 mins. Alternatively, roll out between sheets of baking parchment and cut into shapes, then bake as before. Cool on the baking sheet for a few mins before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

• Bake on middle rack for 18 to 20 minutes, or until edges are golden. Transfer biscuits to a rack to cool.
