The Easiest, Cheesiest Biscuits
PREP: 10 minutes — Bake: 12 minutes
Yields: 10 biscuits
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (excluding the cheese). In a separate bowl, whisk together your buttermilk and melted butter, then pour over the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
The time has come: fold in the cheese!
Using two spoons, scoop and dollop your cheesy batter (about a quarter-cup per biscuit) onto your parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through, until golden-brown.
If you wish, melt a couple more tablespoons of butter, mix in some finely-chopped parsley or chives, and brush over the tops of the biscuits once they've cooled for a minute or two.
