Smokey Cheese Biscuits
Our smoked alpine cheddar "Old Smokey" is the secret to fantastic flavour in these biscuits. Any mature cheese will do here, but our Old Smokey takes on a bacon-y flavour that goes oh so well in this cheesy recipe. Serve as a side to soup, stew, or chili.
Makes ~18 small biscuits. Recipe doubles well if you want to make extra to freeze!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 1/2 cups shredded cheese (LQC's Old Smokey)
- 1/2 cups whole milk
- +/- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to your preference
Directions:
1. Sift flour and baking powder into bowl.
2. Add butter; cut in until pea size.
3. Add shredded cheese and milk to bowl. Start by adding just 1 cup of water and add more as needed.
4. When dough is too sticky to mix, knead sparingly, using flour if needed. Press into 1" thick disc and cut biscuits with a 2 1/2" - 3" circle cutter.
5. Bake at 400°F/205°C for 20 min or until golden.
