What to Eat with Cheese Drop Biscuits ??

I like to eat these biscuits on a large plate with a bowl of hot honey for dipping with a cup of hot tea or cocoa. My son also likes to eat them. Sometimes I prepare a fresh salad as a side dish, or as a reward, I serve them with fried sweet potatoes. I also like to eat them with cold drinks such as fruit juice or a cold drink, especially if it is summer. This is a wonderful and refreshing combination as well.

FAQ’S

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream ?

No, milk is too thin. Heavy cream gives the biscuits their soft and rich texture.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour ?

You can make your own by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.

Do I need to grease the baking sheet ?

Yes, lightly grease it or use parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Can I add herbs or spices ?

Absolutely! Try garlic powder, chives, parsley, or black pepper for more flavor.
