Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Cheddar Drop Biscuits—crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside!
🧀 Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Ingredients (Makes 8–10 biscuits)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Cut in Butter
- Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese and Milk

- Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Serve Warm
- Perfect with butter, soups, or chili.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Extra cheesy: Mix in a little Parmesan for a sharper flavor.

🔥 Shortcut idea:
You can use self-rising flour and skip the baking powder and salt for an even faster version.
