While cleaning out the cutlery drawer, mom found an old recipe given to her by a colleague for cheese biscuits. This morning, I woke to warm cheesy smells wafting up from the kitchen.
By the time I ventured down, they were still slightly warm. Soft, cheesy with bits of bacon and spring onion, they were flavourful and moist. Lovely with cut of coffee or tea!
INGREDIENTS:
2 C all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt *
1/3 C butter
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
1 greenonion, chopped
1 1/4 C milk
*if adding bacon or ham, cut down the salt
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut butter into mixture with fingers or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Stir in cheese and green onion (and bacon/ham if desired).
3. Stir in milk to make a soft, sticky dough. Divide dough into 12 portions. Drop onto greased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until edges are golden. Serve warm or cool.
