Cheesy Skillet Biscuits By Susan Recipes

CHEESY SKILLET BISCUITS BY SUSAN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Warm a 9- or 10-inch iron skillet and melt the butter. Reserve and set aside half the melted butter. Brush the remaining butter all over the bottom and up the sides of the skillet.
• 2. Stir the grated cheese into the Bisquick until well distributed. Add the milk and stir with a fork until it forms a ball and leaves the sides of the bowl. Drop by tablespoons into the warmed skillet, making 8 biscuits, sides almost touching. Brush tops with the reserved melted butter.
• 3. Bake 10-13 minutes, until tops are lightly browned and biscuits are done. Remove from oven and cover with a clean towel until ready to serve. Serve with butter if desired.

OLD TIME CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Put 1 Tbsp butter in a large cast iron skillet, or heavy baking dish, and place in oven.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, 3/4 cup of the cheese, and salt, mix till combined.
• Cut butter in using a pastry cutter or two knives (I use my kitchen-aid, more often than not, with a paddle beater), until it is the consistency of small peas.
• Stir in buttermilk, if too dry or crumbly, add at few splashes more until the dough is workable, but not sticky.
• Take skillet out of the oven.
• On a floured surface, turn dough out, knead no more than 8-10 times, and pat down to about 3/4" thickness. Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a kitchen glass. Don't bother re-rolling the dough, just leave the odds and ends in the pan as they are as a little treat for yourself. Just to ensure the biscuits aren't tough!
• Prick with the tines of a fork, and brush with beaten egg over the tops.
• Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese, place in hot skillet.
• Bake 10-12 minutes till golden brown and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
