Cheesy-Cheese Garlic Biscuits

What can I say, like most southern girls, I love biscuits.  Growing up in Georgia, an older lady across the street used to make a fried biscuit out of buttermilk and bacon drippings in a cast iron pan called a Hoe Cake.  It was so good.  If I could eat that again! ;-)


This biscuit recipe is similar to the ones at Red Lobster.  The key is using sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded.  This biscuit is not for those avoiding dairy. The more dairy I put into the dough, the better they tasted.  And finishing them with a pat of butter at the end only makes them better.

The crunchy bottom crust!

These biscuits are better small so that their is more crust, to make the biscuits nice and crispy. 

The yellow color comes from the eggs I used, not the cheese.

Make extra and eat them for breakfast as your sausage or egg biscuit.  What a treat! 


Cheesy-Cheese Biscuits 
Makes 9 small biscuits


2 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 serving of Stevia (yes, just a pinch or just omit it)
2 tbsp butter, melted (I used salted)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 egg
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese 
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated (packed) 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients
3. Then add remaining ingredients and mix with a fork until homogeneous. 
4. Use small scoop to scoop out dough onto un-greased cookie sheet.  Makes 9 small biscuits
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes.  They won't turn brown on top but the bottoms will be a nice golden brown. 
6. Once out of oven, smear a bit of salted butter on top and serve warm.
