Description
Easy Cheesy Drop Biscuits are soft, buttery, cheese-filled biscuits that require no rolling or cutting. Just mix, drop, and bake for a warm, savory treat that’s perfect with any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Stir in shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Add milk and melted butter. Stir just until combined. Dough will be thick and sticky.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until tops are golden and biscuits are cooked through.
- Serve warm. Optionally, brush with more melted butter or sprinkle with herbs.
Notes
- Add chopped chives, parsley, or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
- Use pepper jack or cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Substitute half the milk with buttermilk for fluffier biscuits.
- Freeze baked biscuits and reheat when needed.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt and flavor.
