Print Recipe

Warm, flaky Herb and Cheese Biscuits that pair well with many meals and are quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter, grated
  • ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs
  • ½ cup heavy cream mixed with ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons water
  • Heavy cream or half-and-half for finishing
  • Flake salt for finishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Add the butter, Monterey Jack cheese, and herbs, and stir to combine.
  4. Add the heavy cream and water mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  6. Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Repeat the process 2 more times, flouring your work surface as necessary to prevent sticking.
  7. Cut out biscuits with a round cutter and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Press together scraps and cut out one or two more biscuits.
  8. Freeze biscuits for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove biscuits from the freezer and brush tops with heavy cream or half-and-half. Sprinkle with flake salt.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, serve warm. These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
