Ingredients for Cheese Biscuits
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 cups Self Rising Flour
- 1 ½ cups shredded Italian 5 cheese
- ¼ cup chopped rosemary
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup frozen butter (1 ½ sticks)
- 1 ¾ cup buttermilk
Additions & Substitutions
CHEDDAR: I love me some good, sharp cheddar, so you could make these biscuits even more cheesy and add half a cup of extra sharp cheddar as well.
GARLIC: I am also a big believer in garlic, so you could add a clove of fresh minced garlic to this recipe as well.
BUTTER: Melt three or four tablespoons of butter with a teaspoon of dried parsley and a teaspoon of garlic powder to brush on top of the biscuits after baking before serving.
BACON: Let’s be honest… bacon makes everything extra delicious! Add some cooked and chopped bacon to the dough before baking.
SPICY: Want a little heat? Add a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for some delicious spice.
How to Make Cheese Biscuits
STEP ONE: Start by combining flour, cheese, rosemary, parsley, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix well.
STEP TWO: Grate frozen butter on large holes on a box grater and stir into the flour mixture. Chill 10 minutes in the freezer.
PRO TIP: Freezing the butter will help create the best biscuits you’ve ever had so don’t skip this step!
STEP THREE: Make well in the center of the mixture, add buttermilk. Stir until just combined. Knead in a bowl a couple of times to form a ball.
STEP FOUR: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 1-inch high rectangle. Fold dough over so short ends meet. Repeat rolling and folding 2 more times.
STEP FIVE: Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter or biscuits will not rise. Place on a baking sheet with parchment. Freeze 10 minutes.
PRO TIP: The biscuits should touch each other on the baking sheet!
STEP SIX: Remove from the freezer and bake at 450 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
PRO TIP: I’ve doubled this recipe before so that we have enough for two meals because the boys eat them up so fast.
HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE CHEESE BISCUITS
COUNTER: These will stay fresh on the counter for up to three days in an airtight container.
FREEZER: You could also freeze them to take out and thaw later. I would suggest sealing in plastic before placing inside a freezer safe bag or container for up to three months.

This recipe looks delicious. I’d like to try it but I’m unclear how large I should roll out the dough. The directions say a 1 inch rectangle. Can you clarify?
You’ll roll it out to one inch high (one inch thick) before cutting. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks so much for sharing these were a hit in my household! Will def make these again!
Can you freeze these rounds to bake later?
Yes, you could!
