Our smoked alpine cheddar "Old Smokey" is the secret to fantastic flavour in these flaky 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.

Smokey Cheese Biscuits

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 cup unsalted butter⁠
• 1/2 cup - 1 cup shredded cheese (LQC's Old Smokey)⁠
• 1/2 cups whole milk⁠
• +/- 1 1/4 cups water⁠
• 1 tsp salt, or to your preference

⁠

Directions:

1. Sift flour and baking powder into bowl; add salt.

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. (Option to sprinkle extra cheese on top before cutting.)

5. Bake at 400°F/205°C for 20 min or until golden.
