Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, shredded Cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and parsley flakes if using.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, don’t overmix the batter; stir until just combined. If you want a twist, consider adding some cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions. You can substitute the shredded Cheddar with other cheeses like Monterey Jack for a different flavor. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix using flour, baking powder, and salt.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Cheddar Bay Biscuits warm, ideally alongside a bowl of Easy Clam Chowder for a comforting meal. They also make a great side for a salad or a light dinner. For a fun twist, serve them with a dipping sauce or a spread. Pairing them with a refreshing side like California Strawberries With Cream can create a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. This keeps them fluffy and delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before baking. Just drop the spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and bake as directed. This can save time if you’re hosting a gathering.
What can I use instead of garlic powder?
If you don’t have garlic powder, you can use fresh minced garlic or garlic salt, adjusting the quantity to taste. Just remember that using fresh garlic might slightly alter the texture, so use it sparingly.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
