Sometimes the most basic recipes are our favorite.  Old school biscuits with a touch of cheese and a sprinkle of green onions to make them go boom!

We served them with Chicken and Mushroom Soup for a total comfort meal on a cloudy Sunday night.  Yes, we get clouds twice a year here in Palm Springs :).

Starting Squishy in the kitchen at an early age!    Look at those hands, made to make biscuits!  :).

What goes in these easy biscuits?

  • flour
  • butter
  • baking powder
  • cheese
  • buttermilk – you can also use a mixture of milk and vinegar (see recipe card for full instructions).
  • cheddar
  • green onions (optional)

A drinking glass works great…no fancy equipment needed!

PRO TIP:  Working the flour and butter together is an important step.  You want the butter to look like small pebbles.  I find a Kitchaid mixer using the paddle wheel works great!  Just toss in the butter and the flour and let it go!  

What do I serve these Easy Cheddar Biscuits with?

  • 20 Minute Chicken and Corn Chowder
  • Sausage Potato Soup
  • Beef Barley Stew
  • Moroccon Chicken Stew
