Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine self-rising flour, heavy cream, and grated Cheddar cheese.
- Mix well until the mixture forms a ball.
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Cut with a 1 1/2 or 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Dip each biscuit in melted butter.
- Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing the dough once the ingredients are combined. You can substitute the Cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice, like Gruyère or mozzarella, for a different flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. These biscuits are a great addition to a meal, especially alongside dishes like Sloppy Cheese.
Serving Suggestions
These Easy Cheesy Biscuits make a delightful addition to any meal, served warm with butter. They pair beautifully with soups or stews, and can be enjoyed as a snack on their own. For a complete breakfast, serve them with Honey Granola Bars or alongside a fresh fruit salad. Consider drizzling some honey on top for extra sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain their softness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the biscuits before baking?
Yes, you can freeze the cut biscuits before baking. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time for best results.
What can I use instead of heavy cream?
If you need a lighter option, you can substitute heavy cream with whole milk mixed with a tablespoon of butter for a similar richness. Alternatively, use a plant-based cream for a dairy-free version, ensuring it’s suitable for your dietary needs.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
Biscuits are done when they are lightly browned on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes to prevent overbaking, as ovens vary in temperature.
