Do I Need A Cast Iron Skillet To Make Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits With Fresh Milled Flour?

Although you do not have to have a cast iron skillet to make these garlic cheddar biscuits with fresh milled flour. I would highly recommend one if you have it. They can be baked on a regular baking sheet, and they will be delicious, but something about that cast iron skillet really makes these quick and easy drop biscuits lovely! The bottoms get the perfect golden brown, and crispy, but the inside of the biscuits are still so tender and light.

What Kind Of Cheese Should I Use?

I recommend a medium to sharp cheddar cheese. You can use a pre-shredded bag of cheese in a pinch, but if you have the few extra minutes to shred a block, the flavor and texture of the cheese is just out of this world! In fact, you can enlist a child or family member to shred the cheese while you work on something else!

Ingredients To Make Easy Garlic Cheddar Biscuits With Fresh Milled Flour

Ingredients For The Biscuit Dough

• 2.5 cups of fresh milled soft white wheat flour 300g (I milled about 1.5 cups of soft white wheat berries to get this)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 4oz
• 1 TBSP Vinegar
• 1 cup milk 240g(I mix the milk & vinegar to make a buttermilk substitute, you can use buttermilk if you prefer)
• 1/2 cup melted butter 120g

The Topping Ingredients

• 2 TBSP melted butter 28g
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp parsley (fresh, freeze-dried, or dried is fine)

Instructions To Make Easy Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits With Fresh Milled Flour

1. Firstly, mill the flour.
2. In a small bowl, measure 1 TBSP vinegar, and then add that to 1 cup of milk. Set aside, it will curdle. (If you want to use buttermilk instead, that is a good option.)
3. Preheat oven to 450*F with Cast Iron Skillet inside.
4. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, shredded cheese, and garlic salt. Stir to combine.
5. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter for the dough, and then pour it into the milk mixture, and stir. Set bowl aside for when you need to melt butter again for the topping.
6. Then, add the milk and butter mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough has formed, it should be very sticky at this point. Make sure there is no dry flour left.
7. Once oven is preheated, it is time to drop the biscuits in the preheated cast iron skillet. Be careful it will be very Hot! Then. using an ice cream scoop, scoop the biscuit dough right onto the hot cast iron skillet.
8. Bake for 12 minutes, they should be golden brown on the top.
9. While biscuits are baking, melt the butter for the toppings, and add the garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the tops of the biscuits with this mixture as they come out of the oven. These are best served hot!

How To Store These Garlic Cheddar Biscuits With Fresh Milled Flour

These drop biscuits are made to eat while hot and fresh, they can dry out if left overnight, so if they aren’t all gone the first day, I recommend freezing them. To freeze these garlic cheddar biscuits, let them cool completely then put them in a freezer safe container the same day you bake them. Then reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
