3-Ingredient Cheese Biscuits
3-Ingredient Cheese Biscuits
2 cups (240 g) self-rising flour
1 cup (110 g) shredded cheese (any kind, sharp cheddar gives flavor)
1 1⁄2 cups (360 g) heavy cream
**Substitute for self-rising flour:
2 c (240 g) all-purpose flour + 1 Tbs baking powder + 1⁄2 tsp salt
*If you live in the UK, add salt to your "self-raising" flour! In the US, ours contains it.
Instructions:
Measure the self-rising flour and shredded cheese into a large bowl and whisk together to evenly distribute the cheese. Pour in the heavy cream and stir just until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently flip and coat the dough with flour until it is no longer sticky. Work the dough briefly, just until it comes together into a ball. Avoid overworking the dough.
Roll or pat the dough out, then fold it into 2–3 trifolds. Roll or pat the dough out again to your desired thickness, usually about 1½ inches.
Cut the biscuits and place them close together, preferably touching, on a cast-iron griddle, skillet, cookie sheet, cake pan, or pie plate, etc. I like to place my cast-iron griddle in the oven while it preheats.
Bake at 450°F for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your biscuits and your oven, or until the biscuits are beautifully golden brown. Brush with butter if desired.
Want to make these ahead, freeze, and bake from frozen? Here's how!
I store all of my breads, biscuits, cookies, etc in beeswax bread bags!
I like making my biscuits on these:
The BEST Oven Gloves!
Biscuit Cutters (I like 2 3/4 inch for these biscuits)
