Rosemary Cheddar Biscuits

This week I made a Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable soup!  So I decided to make some CHEESY biscuits seasoned with rosemary to go along with our dinner!

This recipe is perfect for a small family.  It only makes 4---which I LOVE! So if you want more, then just double the recipe

Ingredients:

3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of baking soda
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp cold butter
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 c buttermilk
1/4 c of cheddar cheese
2 tsp rosemary

Instructions:

1. Add 3/4 c flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder, pinch of baking soda, pinch of salt and 2 Tbsp of cold butter.
2. Cut butter in with knife or use hands to crumble it up into flour mixture. 
3. Store bowl in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. While you're waiting, whisk together 1/4 c buttermilk to 1 Tbsp honey in a small bowl.  
5. Pour buttermilk/honey mixture into flour.
6. Mix in 1/4 c of cheddar cheese and 2 tsp of rosemary.
7. Flour your counter and roll dough into a ball.
8. Roll dough out into a rectangle and fold it in thirds (like your folding a piece of paper into an envelope)
9. Now fold it again into thirds. (see pictures to get a better idea)
10. Roll out dough to 3/4 of an inch thickness.
11. Cut the dough with a round cookie cutter or glass.
12. Place dough onto parchment-covered baking sheet.
13. Bake biscuits in oven at 410 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden.

Instructions with pictures

Add 3/4 c flour, 3/4 tsp baking powder, pinch of baking soda, pinch of salt and 2 Tbsp of cold butter.

Cut in with knife!  I used my hands to crumble it up into flour mixture. 

Store bowl in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

While you're waiting, add 1/4 c buttermilk to 1 Tbsp honey in a small bowl.  Whisk together

If you don't have buttermilk in your fridge (like yours truly), pour a Tablespoon of lemon juice into a liquid measuring cup. Add milk to the 1-cup line.  Wait 5 minutes and then add 1/4 c of that to the honey.  

This is a really simple technique to use when you don't have buttermilk, which I hardly ever do.

Pour buttermilk/honey mixture into flour.

Mix until just combined.

Shred up some cheddar cheese.

Add 1/4 c of cheddar cheese and 2 tsp of rosemary.

Mix until just combined.

Flour your counter and roll dough into a ball

Roll dough out into a rectangle and fold it in thirds.

(like your folding a piece of paper into an envelope)

Now fold it again into thirds.

Roll out again to 3/4 of an inch thickness.

Cut the dough with a round cookie cutter or glass.

This is always my favorite part.

Place dough onto parchment-covered baking sheet.

Bake biscuits in oven at 410 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden.
