Colby Jack Cheddar Biscuits

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Colby Jack Cheddar Biscuits.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease a baking sheet with a teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring it's ready for those delightful biscuits.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried parsley, 1/8 teaspoon of ground thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of white sugar. Give it a good mix with a fork to blend all those dry ingredients together.

3. Step 3

   Now, it's time to add the star ingredients! Stir in 1 cup of shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded white Cheddar cheese, letting their cheesy goodness mingle with the flour mixture.

4. Step 4

   Next, take 6 tablespoons of cold butter and cut it into the flour-cheese mixture. Use your fork to break the butter into coarse chunks, mixing until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving that flaky biscuit texture!

5. Step 5

   Gently pour in 1 cup of 2% milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; we want those biscuits to be light and fluffy!

6. Step 6

   Using a heaping 1/8-cup measuring cup, drop the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for rising. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are beautifully risen and golden brown.

7. Step 7

   Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or your favorite jam! These biscuits are perfect as a side dish or a tasty snack any time of day.
