Cheese Biscuit Recipe w/ Flour?

Question

Yea, I wanted to make some cheddar cheese biscuits like I do all the time when we have BisQuick, but I'm out of Bisquick, and all the flour cheese biscuit recipes I find call for mustard seed, which I also don't have. Anyone have a good cheese biscuit recipe from scratch that requires normal ingredients?

Answer 1

Country Cheese Biscuits

2 C. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 C. butter
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 C. milk

Preheat the oven to 425° F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the cheese and milk. Mix with a fork until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 5 - 6 times. Roll the dough out to a 1 inch thickness. Cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter.

Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until they are a light brown.

Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 T. melted butter after removing form the oven.

Answer 2

Mustard seed isnt an important ingredient, chemical wise. It is only in there for flavor, so you can feel free to just leave it out of any recipie.
Heres the recipie the CCA uses:
shortening 14oz bread flour 20 oz
salt .75oz pastry flour 20 oz
sugar 2 oz baking powder 2.5 oz
milk 26 oz
1 cup=8 ounces 1Tbls= 1/2 ounce
Be careful with these measurements as they are by weight, not volume
Directions-1 sift together dry ingredients
2 cut in shortening by hand until mixture appears like coarse cornmeal.
3.combine liquid ingredients and add to mixture
4 mix just until a soft dough is form. do not overmix
5 knead the dough lightly by pressing it out and folding in half. rotate dough 90 degrees each time and repeat 10-20 times, until dough is slightly elastic.
6 roll dough out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into desired shapes.
7 place unto greased baking sheet 1/2 in apart
8 bake at 425 for about 15-20 minutes
yields about 5 dozen biscuits

Answer 4

Can't you just leave the mustard seed out? It doesn't seem like an essential ingredient. Those biscuits are yummy. I'd go get some Bisquick and learn to keep it on hand. ;o)

I just printed out this recipe from Kraft Foods on 10/17 because I thought it looked so good. It's called Easy-Bake Cheddar Biscuits. I'm going to make them when my nephew comes over for dinner next Sunday.

Hope you enjoy!
