I’ve shared this before, but I’ll share it again, because I love you all and want you to have joy in your lives: herbed buttermilk cheese biscuits > [@](#): > > INGREDIENTS > > 2 cups all purpose flour > > 2 teaspoons baking powder > > ½ teaspoon baking soda > > ½ teaspoon salt > > ½ teaspoon garlic powder > > ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning > > ½ teaspoon paprika (smoked, spicy, you choose) > > 6 tablespoons butter > > ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese > > 1 cup buttermilk (whole buttermilk is vastly preferred) > > DIRECTIONS: > > 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. > 2. Grease a cookie sheet, or a piece of foil, or put a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet. > 3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional garlic powder and Italian seasoning together. A food processor works great for this, but you can also use a whisk. > 4. Chop the butter into slices, and then blend it into the dry ingredients. If you’re using a food processor, this is great, but you can also just squish it in with your fingers. Get it blended in pretty well: a texture like crumbs is great. > 5. Mix in the shredded cheese. > 6. Dump all the buttermilk in at once and stir it in. The food processor works, or you can use a big spoon. Make sure all the ingredients are wet. If you need a few extra drips of buttermilk, you can do that. > 7. Use a regular spoon to scoop some of the batter out of the bowl. Use a second spoon to drop this batter onto the cookie sheet. Repeat until the tray is full of little drop biscuits. > 8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden on top. > 9. Enjoy! Straight out of the oven, these are aromatic little clouds of heaven. Up to three days later, these are a delicious breakfast, popped in the toaster oven and accompanied with coffee. Served alongside an autumnal soup, these’ll make your family love you again. One year, I made hundreds of these with my students in grades 3-5. Alone, I can make a batch in about 25 minutes, including baking time and cleanup; with students it took about 45 minutes. They raved, and I had kids talking about them years later. ---

I use a similar one that doesn’t heat up the cream. It turns out great (for my Yankee tastes), but I’ll have to try the version where you heat it and compare. Also, I use White Lily flour if I have it around (just bought a few bags in Michigan the other week—it used to be stocked by Meijer here in the Chicago area, but I haven’t seen it around for a spell.) ---

You’ve made us wait 10 months. How’d they turn out? Actually, I googled “home made flaky biscuits” and was directed to this thread. I thought I’d reanimate it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nothing-says-lovin-like-biscuits-in-the-oven/1008352.md?page=1)
