Flaky Cheddar Biscuits with chipotle cheddar cheese and fresh basil . These are the easiest biscuits to make and perfect for pairing with your favorite beef chili or an awesome breakfast sandwich!
Whoever decided to add biscuits as a side to their dinner was a genius! Things can get even sassier if you add handfuls of melted Cabot Chipotle Aged Cheddar and fresh basil to the dough.
And should we talk about how easy it is to actually make biscuits? Homemade is a billion times better than any store bought biscuit which probably started it's life happy enough and then was shot down a conveyor belt, shoved in a box and frozen solid.
That's how most biscuits will get back to you. Supposedly it's convenient but guys, making biscuits from scratch takes about 40 minutes from mixing to munching.
You can add all sorts of other ingredients like pumpkin or hummus, maybe blanket them in garlic butter?
Just follow a few simple but important rules for biscuit making and you'll be solid. Don't overwork the dough.
Gently mix with your fingers, yup get stuck in and get prepared to be covered in sticky dough because it's the only way to know just how much the dough has been worked.
No need for any rolling pins. Just pat the dough down into a rough circle before cutting out the biscuits.
Keep the biscuits close together when you place them on the baking sheet, almost touching. This encourages the biscuits to bake and rise together with less dry edges ending up as a softer biscuit
That's pretty much biscuit making 101. Pat yourself on the back and print yourself a certificate for being the best baker on your block! Now go fill these cheddar biscuits with something awesome, like bacon and egg or grilled sausage.
Biscuits are wonderful, we agree right?
