If there’s anything that I love more than making cookies and granola, it’s making biscuits. Okay, maybe I don’t like them MORE, but they are certainly on par with them.
I have experimented with making cheese biscuits, whole wheat cheese biscuits, apple cheddar cheese biscuits…pretty much any biscuit combination with cheese, but for some reason have never thought to just make plain old regular…biscuits.
Now even though these biscuits don’t look all too biscuit-y. Let’s just call them rustic. But what they lack in presentation make up for a million times in taste. I ate around 3 straight out of the oven, and snacked on a couple throughout the day. To me, these are almost as dangerous as having a jar full of cookies left out right in front of me.
The reason that I love biscuits oh so much is because it’s the closest thing to making bread in the shortest amount of time. I mean, freshly made bread is one of my not-so-guilty, truly delicious pleasures in life. But then there’s waiting for the dough to rise, kneading the bread, waiting for the bread to cook..and it seems like my entire day is done.
This way, I can have a bread like morsel in under 30 minutes. Now how’s that for amazing!

Yum, I love a good biscuit. They are kinda of my go to recipe when I need a bread to add to a meal. I usually have all the ingredients on hand and they are so quick to prepare. Looks delicious!
I'm sure these biscuits taste really great! I totally agree this is a great way to get your bread fix quickly.
There is nothing like a good biscuit except perhaps the butter and honey that go on top of it!
These are certainly a different sort of biscuit that I am used to. Got to try it sometime
Would be great to use them for the lunch sandwich too.
Hi Cathleen,
I would to try baking dropped kind of biscuits like yours. These must be great with jam!
