Cheddar Dill Biscuits

4.0

(9)

There's no doubt these are some seriously cheesy biscuits, but dill adds a dose of herbal brightness, making them the ideal partner for grits with rosemary bacon (page 61) and fried eggs.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 hr (includes cooling)

  • Yield

    Makes 8 biscuits

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 cup coarsely grated sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Whisk together flour, baking powder, paprika, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter and blend with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size butter lumps. Add remaining ingredients and stir just until a dough forms.

    Step 3

    With floured hands, divide dough into 8 portions and gently form into 2-inch-high biscuits. Arrange 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Bake until bottoms are golden and biscuits are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
