Description:
Discover the effortless charm of these Cheesy Drop Biscuits, a recipe I stumbled upon in the ever-inspiring Quick Cooking magazine—my go-to source for speedy and delectable dishes. Perfect for those chilly winter nights, these biscuits are a splendid companion to hearty soups and stews. With minimal prep and bake time, you’ll have a batch of warm, cheesy goodness ready in no time.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s perfectly warmed to bake those biscuits to golden perfection.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and chilled butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix just until the ingredients are combined—over-mixing could lead to dense biscuits.
-
Form the Biscuits: Using a rounded tablespoon, drop the biscuit dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Space them about an inch apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a delightful golden brown. Keep an eye on them to ensure they achieve that perfect crisp exterior.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. They are fantastic on their own, or even better alongside a steaming bowl of chili, soup, or stew. Enjoy the cheesy, buttery delight with every bite!
