Ingredients
(Makes about 8 deliciously sized biscuits)
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 6 T Butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 Cup COLD Milk (buttermilk works too)
- MouCo ColoRouge Cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1 tsp Yogurt
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 475°F and adjust one rack to the center for even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This blend, therefore, ensures your biscuits rise beautifully and achieve that perfect, airy texture.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Next, in a separate bowl, combine the milk, yogurt, and melted butter. Stir until you notice small lumps of butter floating on top of the milk – this step is crucial for achieving tender, flaky biscuits.
- Incorporate the Cheese: Afterward, dice the MouCo ColoRouge into small chunks and fold them into the dry ingredients. This will, in turn, infuse each biscuit with savory pockets of melted cheese goodness.
- Combine and Shape: Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overwork the dough. The dough should be slightly lumpy with visible chunks of cheese. Then, scoop out heaping half-cup portions of dough and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and beautifully risen. To maintain their height and fluffiness, avoid opening the oven too soon.
- Cool and Serve: Finally, allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. These biscuits are perfect on their own or with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of extra MouCo ColoRouge.
Enjoy these mouthwatering Southern-style biscuits with MouCo ColoRouge as a delightful treat any time of the day. Their cheesy, flaky goodness is sure to bring a smile to your face and a satisfied belly!
