| Yield: | 6 biscuits |
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup shortening
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup milk, or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir Cheddar cheese and chives into flour mixture; gradually stir in milk to form a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 times. Roll dough out to a 1-inch thickness with a floured rolling pin. Cut biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter; place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Press dough trimmings together, roll out again, and cut remaining dough into rounds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Delicious,easy to make and I added two dashes of cayenne instead of chives.
Great recipe! I doubled it and used a cup of raisins. Will make again for sure.
Love this recipe. Have made several times, sometimes with cheese and sometimes without.
Excellent recipe. I made the recipe for 10 servings, reduced the salt by half and increased the cheese to 1 cup.
Quick and delicious breakfast! I did two batches one cheese and one blueberry it came out really good.the only thing I would add is maybe a few spoons of sugar if you’re making blueberry biscuits
Yummy! Thanks for posting.
Love them
I had to multiply the recipe, and ended up not feeding the milk. The end product was a bit crumbly but it tasted good. I will make the recipe again using the original measures, to see how it tastes!!

easy and quick, makes a very nice tea biscuit. perfect for a weekend morning with a tea or coffee.
Added a little more cheese (3/4 cup), and used butter instead of shortening (about a quarter cup). It made a dozen biscuits, which husband and 4 little ones completely devoured in about 5 minutes!
they were delicious will definitely make again
Easy and delicious!! I used butter instead of shortening, twice the cheese, (Italian blend) bacon bits and Italian seasoning instead of chives.
Fantastic! My kids loved them! I will for sure be making these again.
I have made these several times and everyone loves them. I have left out the chives each time. (Just don’t have them around much.) They make up in almost no time at all. Can’t see why anyone would bother with store bought or mixes when this is so simple.
No changes, made exactly as written. Amazingly wonderful texture. My family loved them! Thank you
Used: 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Added: 1 tsp b.powder. Turns out a bit salty, but hubby likes it that way
It was very good and easy and went well with a nice cup of tea. Next time though, I think I’ll add more cheese. But that’s just because I love cheese
My kids and my husband are raving about these! My husband is super excited to start making sandwiches and dips for them. 🙂 thank you for such an awesome recipe! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to get such a reaction out of all of them
So delicious! Instead of chives (I ran out), I used Club House La Grille Maple Bacon spice, it made them a tad more Canadian too mmmm! Thanks for the recipe!
