Nothing beats homemade biscuits. They are the epitome of comfort food to me. And this biscuit recipe is one of the easiest out there!
Homemade Biscuits
I was craving biscuits the other day (totally normal right?) and looked up recipes online. But I didn’t have exactly the right ingredients for the recipe so I fudged a little, hoping they would turn out. And they did! Woohoo. I love when that happens. These homemade biscuits with cheddar and garlic melt in your mouth. It’s hard to stop at just one.

Recipe slightly adapted from Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice and the Slow Roasted Italian.
You might want to make a double or triple batch…. Each recipe makes approximately 18 biscuits, depending on how big you make them. And I’m pretty sure that I could eat a plate of biscuits alone for dinner. Who needs a main dish? Not me!
Do they freeze well?
they look lush!

Could you check the recipe? How much milk? Looks yummy!
Thanks for catching that Susan! I just updated it – 1 c. of milk total. Buttermilk or whole milk can be used.
Is this your regular biscuit recipe, minus the cheese and toppings?
Hi Adele- I haven’t made it without the cheese and topping before.
