My review
Shmunky's Colby Jack Cheddar Biscuits
audiospirit
"These biscuits have an amazing aroma and taste that will turn any grump into a jolly lad! They are crispy on the outside, yet soft and puffy in the center. They freeze well too, for making large batches. This recipe is best when hand made, so try not to be tempted by your mixers. Trust me, it will pay off in the end. Buy block cheese and grate it by hand for best quality. I use a medium size grate. I do NOT recommend using fine grated cheeses."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Using olive oil, grease a baking sheet.
- With a fork, mix together the flour, baking powder, parsley, thyme, salt, sugar, Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, and white Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture in coarse chunks, then use the fork to further cut the butter into the flour-cheese mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Lightly stir in the milk just until the dough holds together.
- Drop the batter by heaping 1/8-cup measuring cup onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until risen and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes
- Baking times vary depending on your type of oven and elevation. I suggest you start watching the biscuits around 12 minutes into baking time and checking on them every 5 minutes after that. I am using a gas oven on the 3rd floor of an apartment. It takes mine about 30 minutes to bake.
- I use a 1/8 measuring cup to spoon out my biscuits.

Such an easy recipe, and they came out great. I didn't have any white cheese, so I just used shredded Sharp cheese. I ended up baking 20 minutes.

We didn't like these at all. They were very chewy, and the insides took longer to cook than the outside, making for a crunchy exterior. And the taste just wasn't quite "right", though I can't ...

This is the best biscuit recipe I've ever tried -- and believe me, I've tried a bunch! I use half cake flour and half bread flour, which make the biscuits lighter and fluffier. I've also played ...

I made only two small changes and that was using buttermilk instead of 2% milk and I added a teaspoon of garlic powder. Instead of making drop biscuits, I shaped the dough into a round circle an...

These are excellent and easy. I don't like thyme, so I added a 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. My whole family LOVED them.

These were amazing. I did not use herbs and olive oil and substituted honey for the white sugar. When mixing I added half the milk to the dry mixture to minimize clumping when adding the butter....
