CHEESY BISCUITS


Better than Jim 'N Nick's Cheesy Biscuits
These are yummy and super easy to make.  

1 1/2 cups Bisquick
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 Tbps sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 425.  Stir together all ingredients just until combined.  Scoop into a mini muffin pan coated with cooking spray.  Bake 12-15 minutes, until golden.  **I used a medium cookie scoop and got 20 muffins**

CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS
Got this recipe from Valley View RS newsletter.  We loved them.  Would make good muffins too.

BISCUITS:
mix in food processor:
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
4 T cold butter
Add: (but don't overmix)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Drop 1/4 cup portions of dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake 11-13 minutes.  Once they are cooked brush on butter glaze and top with a little bit of Kosher salt.

BUTTER GLAZE:
melt 3 T butter and add 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 3/4 tsp dried parsley flakes.

CHEDDAR SCALLION BISCUITS
Dan & Judi gave us a Tillamook cookbook.  These are found on pg 44.  We all really liked them.

2 1/2 cups flour
1 T sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt (didn't add that much)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cayenne powder (didn't add)
---
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup medium cheddar cheese, plus 3 T divided (I used monterey jack because that is what we had)
1 cup buttermilk
2 T heavy cream

Preheat oven to 400.  Whisk together first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.  Add the butter and work with your fingertips until the mixture resembles cornmeal  (used pastry blender).  Mix in the green onions and the 1/2 cup cheese.  Stir in the buttermilk and mix lightly , just until a loose dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly.  Roll out the dough to 3/4 inch thickness.  Cut with a 2" biscuit cutter (used a glass).

Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet.  Brush the tops with cream and top each biscuit with a pinch of Cheddar.  Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden-brown.
