Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • ½ cup butter frozen
  • 11 ounce tub Original, Bacon, Jalapeño, or Pepper Jack Palmetto Cheese 
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Optional: melted butter or garlic butter for brushing

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk and Palmetto cheese until well blended. Place in the refrigerator.
  • Grate frozen butter and toss with flour in a medium bowl, chill 10 minutes.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add cheesy buttermilk mixture and stir 15 times, dough will be slightly loose. Add 2-4 tablespoons buttermilk if the dough seems to dry.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball.
  • Roll with a rolling pin or pat the dough into a ¾” thickness. Cut with a 2 ½” floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed. 
  • Place biscuit rounds on a parchment paper-lined pan or a pre-heated buttered cast iron skillet. Bake at 450°F for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • If desired, brush with melted butter or garlic butter.

Notes

Tips and Substitutions

  • Make Mini Biscuit Appetizers: You can make smaller biscuits for appetizers. Roll or pat the dough to a half inch thickness. Adjust the baking time accordingly, as smaller biscuits will bake faster.
  • Biscuit Cutting Technique: To prevent the biscuit cutter from sticking to the dough, dip it in flour before each cut. This helps the cutter slide through the dough more easily. Press the biscuit cutter straight down into the rolled-out dough without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges and affect the rise of the biscuits. Lift the cutter straight up to remove the cut biscuit.
