Garlic Cheese Drop Biscuits

Print Recipe

Servings: 15 biscuits

The simplicity of these drop biscuits lies in the lack of kneading or rolling or cutting. You merely mix and plop these garlicky, cheesy little scoops of dough onto the baking sheet. Less than 20 minutes later: carby comfort food heaven!

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

¾ teaspoon cream of tartar

½ cup cold butter

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 garlic clove, minced

¼–½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne

1¼ cups milk (2 percent)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cream of tartar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese, garlic and pepper flakes. Add milk; stir just until moistened.
Drop dough by heaping ¼ cups two inches apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
