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 Milk (almond milk for dairy-free option)
- Butter (for brushing on top, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the biscuits evenly.
- Mix Flour: In a large mixing bowl, add the 2 cups of self-rising flour and whisk well to combine and aerate it for a light biscuit texture.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded cheese (between 1 to 2 cups) carefully so the cheese is evenly distributed without overworking the dough.
- Add Milk: Slowly pour in 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 or biscuits using your hands or a spoon. Place them evenly spaced on a prepared baking sheet.
- Optional Butter Brush: Brush the tops of the biscuit dough rounds with melted butter to add flavor and help them brown beautifully.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the cheese type based on your preference, cheddar or Gouda work especially well.
- Using almond milk makes the recipe dairy-free, and gluten-free flour can be used to accommodate dietary needs.
- Brushing the biscuits with butter is optional but enhances the color and richness.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
- Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so no additional leavening agents are required.
