Herbed Cheddar Biscuits Food

CHEDDAR AND HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until coarse crumbs are formed. Lightly mix in grated cheese. Mix in buttermilk just until moist (dry spots here and there are ok - the biscuits will be tough if they are overmixed).
• Drop the biscuits onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until browned and golden.
• While the biscuits are baking, in a small bowl combine three tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of salt.
• Right when the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the butter/herb mixture over the biscuits evenly (alternately, you can dip the top of the biscuit into the butter mixture). Serve immediately.

BUTTERMILK CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.
• Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the Cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add the cheese to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.
• Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making 8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.

CHEESY HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine baking mix, milk, cheese, garlic powder, and herbs; stir until just moistened.
• Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet; bake 12-14 minutes or until light brown.
• Melt butter; infuse with 1/4 tsp.
• garlic powder.
• Brush biscuits with garlic butter after they come out of oven; serve hot.

HERBED CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut in butter with the dry ingredients until the mixture is coarse and crumbly. Then cut in the shortening, and mix in the scallions, parsley, and grated cheddar cheese.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in buttermilk, and stir with a fork just until dough comes together. Do not overmix. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 6 to 8 times.
• On a clean work surface, pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut out biscuits using a floured 3-inch-round biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter. Gently re-form scraps of dough, and cut out more biscuits.
• Transfer the biscuits to a lightly buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Serve hot.
