Herb and Cheese Biscuits
Mike The Food Dude
This is a recipe my brother and I crafted one day to go along with my mom’s famous potato soup. It quickly became a favourite in my family and now we make them with all kinds of soups!

Ingredients
Ingredients
● 2 Cups flour
● 1 Tablespoon baking powder
● 2 Teaspoons sugar
● 1/2 Teaspoon cream of tartar
● 1/4 Teaspoon salt
● 2 Teaspoons smoked paprika
regular paprika is also an option, but won’t give that smokey flavour
● 2 Tablespoons chopped
fresh rosemary (or 2 TEAspoons dried)
● 1/2 Cup cold
cubed butter
● 1 Well-packed cup cheddar cheese
● 2/3 Cup milk
Instructions
In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, rosemary, paprika, and salt.
Using your hands or a pastry blender, squish in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in cheese, then make a well in the centre, add the milk, and stir until dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 10 to 13 strokes.
Roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness and cut out with a round cookie cutter.
Transfer to a cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
Notes
Tip: If you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can use a glass with a 2 1/2 inch rim
