Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Self-Rising Flour (gluten-free if needed)
- 1-2 cups Shredded Cheese (cheddar, Gouda, or your favorite)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Almond Milk (or regular milk for dairy)
- Butter (for brushing on top, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the biscuits evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the 2 cups of self-rising flour and whisk well to aerate and ensure even consistency.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the 1-2 cups of shredded cheese gently, distributing it evenly throughout the flour mixture.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in the 1 1/3 cups of almond milk (or regular milk) and mix gently with a rubber spatula until a soft dough forms.
- Shape Biscuits: Shape the dough into small rounds by hand or using a biscuit cutter and place them spaced evenly on a prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Butter (Optional): Brush the tops lightly with melted butter to add a golden sheen and extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving warm for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- You can use any shredded cheese you prefer, such as cheddar for a classic flavor or Gouda for a smoky aroma.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and skip the butter or use a dairy-free alternative.
- Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so no need to add extra leavening agents.
- Brush with butter is optional but adds richness and a golden top.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best results.
