Craving a delicious and simple side dish or snack? Look no further than these Super Easy 4-Ingredient Cheese Biscuits! With just a handful of ingredients, these fluffy and cheesy biscuits are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re serving them at a family dinner or enjoying them as a quick snack, these biscuits are sure to please.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-rising flour

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese (preferably freshly shredded)

1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet to ensure the biscuits come off easily once baked.

Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of self-rising flour with 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually stir in 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups of whole milk. The mixture should be wet and sticky, but not runny. Adjust the milk as needed to reach the right consistency—it’s okay if the dough is more moist than typical biscuit dough.

Shape the Biscuits:
Use a small ice cream scoop (sprayed with cooking spray for easy release) to scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the mounds about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion as they bake.

Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for an extra touch of flavor.

Serving Tips:

Warm and Fresh: Cheese biscuits are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven. Serve them alongside soups, stews, or as a standalone snack with a pat of butter or a dollop of honey.

Pairings: These biscuits pair wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including casseroles, salads, and grilled meats. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread.

Reheating: If you have leftovers, you can quickly reheat the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore their softness and warmth.

Storage Tips:

Room Temperature: Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. This helps them stay soft and fresh.

Refrigeration: For longer storage, place the biscuits in an airtight container or resealable bag and refrigerate for up to a week. This will keep them from becoming too dry.

Freezing: If you want to keep biscuits for an extended period, freeze them. Place the cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Reviving Leftovers: To bring back the fresh-baked taste, warm refrigerated or frozen biscuits in the oven. This will help restore their original texture and flavor.

FAQs:

Can I use a different type of cheese for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other types of cheese if you prefer. While sharp cheddar cheese provides a great flavor, you can substitute it with cheeses like Monterey Jack, Swiss, or even a blend of cheeses. Just ensure that the cheese is finely shredded to blend well into the biscuit dough.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix these together thoroughly before using them in the recipe.

Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the biscuits ahead of time. After baking, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven to restore their freshness.

Can I add herbs or spices to the biscuit dough?

Absolutely! Feel free to customize your cheese biscuits by adding herbs like chopped chives, parsley, or thyme. You can also include spices such as garlic powder or paprika to enhance the flavor. Just mix these additions into the dough before baking.
