I’m not a big breakfast fan.  My idea of the perfect breakfast is reheated pizza or left over dinner from last night.  My least favorite breakfast item is anything sweet.  Doughnuts before 2:00 in the afternoon just make me nauseous.  So these biscuits are my ultimate breakfast. They still pass as a traditional breakfast food but they are hearty and won’t send me into diabetic shock!!  If you do like sweets for breakfast then you can use these to replace those boring dinner rolls.  Yummy!  I’m going to go eat another one!

Ingredients:

2 Cups All purpose baking flour

1 Tbs. Baking Powder

1 1/2  Tsp Kosher Salt

1  1/2 Sticks of cold butter

1/2 Cup Buttermilk

1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Large Egg

1 Tbls Black Pepper

2 cloves Garlic

Combine flour, baking powder, pepper, crushed garlic and salt to your mixer and set the speed on low.  Slice the butter into small cubes and add it to the mixer.  Allow mixer to blend until the butter and flour mixture looks all clumpy.  Take your egg and buttermilk and put them in a small bowl.  Whisk the two together until blended nicely.  Slowly add the egg and milk concoction to your mixer.   Lastly put your cheddar cheese in a small bowl and add a tiny bit of flour to the cheese.  Toss the two together until the cheese is lightly coated the add it to your mixer.  Coating items in flour before adding them to your mixture will help the ingredient spread out more evenly in your batter.  This is a good trick for raisins too.

Once everything is all blended together drop 3-4″ balls on to your pan and bake at 425 for 20 minutes.  I like for the biscuits to look a little rustic so I don’t roll the dough or use a cookie cutter.  Just throw the rough shape on the pan and you get these great looking biscuits.  Your batter should be really sticky so don’t start adding flour in the end because you are afraid of the stickiness.  Trust me these will turn out fabulous! 

Sugar agrees these are the best!
