Okay, who doesn’t love a good biscuit? What is even better is a biscuit with CHEESE. Anyway, when I was little, my brother and I would eat biscuits, and we would love to pour honey in them. So for this recipe, I decided to top these biscuits with some honey for that hint of sweetness. Also, I decided to incorporate cheese in the recipe because I just love cheese. I recently served these at our Halloween party, and they were a hit. I named them “Boo-Biscuits,” but for the sake of this post, let’s refer to them as Honey Cheddar Biscuits. This recipe takes very little time to prepare and requires only a couple of minutes in the oven. The great thing as well is that there is no need to knead or roll your dough. You just stir everything together and into the oven! I like to make these on weekend mornings and eat them with eggs, but I’ve also used them for dinner or BBQs. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 whole stick), melted
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 salt
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded. You can use 1 1/2 cups for extra cheesiness
- Topping
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- Topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Grab your baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, combine your flour, garlic powder, paprika, sugar, and baking powder.
- Using another bowl, combine your buttermilk and butter.
- Now, begin incorporating your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. Most people would like to use a mixer for this step, but I find using my hands to mix works best.
- Once that is well mixed, pour in the cheese and mix well with your hands. Do not use a mixture for this step. Gently fold the cheese in.
- Now scoop up the batter evenly with your hands to make a ball. I would use an ice cream scooper to measure these. When placing on the baking sheet, press down lightly so they are a bit flat.
- Once all the biscuits are on the baking sheet, use a brush to add the topping to each biscuit.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes. You will notice the top will begin to turn golden brown.
- Enjoy!
Note: It is important to let these rest for about 5-7 minutes before serving. They might be a bit soft when they come out, so allowing them to set a bit will be key. Also, if you want to make the batter ahead of time, you can. Simply put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before needing to bake. Just make sure to saran wrap it.
