Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

As I'm typing from a hotel room in the South I looked over my recipes I have collected and saved in files on my laptop and this one stands out as sounding really, really good right now! LOL. I've got a love of biscuits and about a week ago had some yummy cheddar cheese biscuits with a light garlic butter sauce brushed on top.

This recipe doesn't call for the garlic butter but I'd add it as soon as they came out of the oven from baking. I think I would also add a sprinkling of dried parsley - just a touch - to the ones I brushed with garlic butter.



Cheddar Cheese Bite-Size Biscuits


3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light cream cheese
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 T butter
1/4 cup milk or half n' half

Place whole wheat and white flour in food processor. Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and margarine to food processor bowl. Pulse for about 5 seconds to blend well. Drizzle milk over the top of the mixture and pulse until a dough forms (about 3 seconds). Add another tablespoon of milk if necessary. Use about a tablespoon of dough to roll into a ball and place on a cookie sheet coated with canola cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate cookie sheet while preheating oven to 400-degrees.
Bake until set, about 15 minutes.Print Friendly and PDF
