Description

These unique cheesy biscuits offer a delightful twist on traditional savory baked goods by incorporating Kraft Macaroni & Cheese powder into the dough. The result is a tender, flaky texture with a rich, creamy cheese flavor in every bite. Perfect for serving alongside soup or as a side dish for a casual weeknight dinner, they bring a nostalgic, home-style comfort to your table. Easy to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe is a satisfying crowd-pleaser that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (220ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cheese powder.
  3. Cut in the shortening using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs or rice-size pieces.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk just until the dough comes together into a soft ball.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 10 times.
  6. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  7. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
  8. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Sprinkle with optional salt if desired.
  10. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Note

Ensure the shortening is cold when cutting it into the flour to achieve a flaky texture.

Do not overmix the dough after adding the buttermilk, as this can make the biscuits tough.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the shortening with cold, cubed butter.
