Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter and mix it into the all ingredients.
- Stir the mixture and drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F until browned on top.
- If desired, brush on butter and sprinkle with parsley.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh minced garlic or herbs like chives or parsley to the dough. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. To keep the biscuits light and fluffy, avoid over-mixing the dough. Serve them warm for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
These Garlic and Cheese Biscuits are perfect as a side for soups, salads, or hearty stews. They pair beautifully with Vidalia Onion Dip for a tasty appetizer. You can serve them warm alongside a breakfast spread or as a snack with butter. Consider incorporating them into a brunch menu with dishes like Fruit Dump Cake for a delightful combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes to restore their crispness. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of cheese?
Absolutely! While Cheddar cheese adds a classic flavor, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or even a sharp blue cheese. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile will change, so choose a cheese that complements garlic well.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, try adding a little more self-rising flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much, as it can make the biscuits dense. Lightly flour your hands when shaping the biscuits to prevent sticking.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. When you're ready to bake, drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet directly from the fridge, and you may need to increase the baking time slightly.
