There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh, warm biscuits straight from the oven, especially when they’re loaded with gooey, melty cheese.

These easy cheese biscuits are the ultimate comfort food—soft, buttery, and seriously cheesy, yet ridiculously simple to make.

No rolling, cutting, or fancy techniques required—just a few simple ingredients, a little stirring, and you’ve got a batch of golden, drop biscuits that disappear faster than you can say “more please.”

Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or alongside your favorite soup, these biscuits are sure to become a go-to in your kitchen.

Ingredients (makes about 8-10 biscuits):

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
3. Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender, your fingers, or a food processor to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Add the cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar until evenly distributed.
5. Add the milk: Pour in the milk and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky.
6. Form the biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Don’t worry about shaping them perfectly—drop biscuits are meant to look a little rustic.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Optional finishing touch: Brush the tops with melted butter for extra richness.
9. Serve warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed straight from the oven while still warm and buttery.
