To make savory cheddar herb pull-apart biscuits, gather these ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 3/4 cup buttermilk You can swap some ingredients if needed: - Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option. - If you don't have buttermilk, mix regular milk with a splash of vinegar. - Try different cheese, like mozzarella or pepper jack, for a new flavor. - Fresh herbs can be replaced with dried ones, but use less. Prepare the following tools for easy cooking: - A large mixing bowl for combining dry ingredients. - A separate bowl for mixing wet ingredients. - A whisk for blending well. - A 9-inch round cake pan to bake the biscuits. - A wire rack to cool the biscuits after baking. These tools will help you create perfect pull-apart biscuits each time. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients. 3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh herbs (chives, parsley, thyme) to the flour mixture. Stir slowly until the cheese and herbs are evenly spread. 4. In a different bowl, mix the melted butter with the buttermilk. Stir until the two blend nicely. 5. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Use a spatula to gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light. 6. Shape the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Place the balls side by side in the prepared pan. They should touch each other. 7. If you like, brush the tops of the biscuit balls with more melted butter. This gives a nice golden color when baked. 8. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 25-30 minutes. You'll know they’re done when the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. 9. After baking, let the biscuits cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. 10. Serve the biscuits warm, right from the pan. They look great on a rustic wooden board with a bowl of softened butter or herb-infused olive oil for dipping. To get the best dough, start with cold butter. It helps create flaky layers. Make sure not to overmix your dough. Mix just until everything is combined. This keeps your biscuits light and airy. Use fresh herbs for the best taste. Chives, parsley, and thyme work well here. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking. Grease your pan well or use parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes serving easy. Bake the biscuits for 25-30 minutes. The tops should be golden brown when done. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, your biscuits are ready. Brush the tops with melted butter before baking. This adds richness and a nice shine. You can also sprinkle more cheese on top for extra flavor. Try adding spices like paprika or cayenne for a little kick. Serve with softened butter or herb-infused olive oil. This makes for a delightful dipping experience. {{image_2}} You can switch up the cheese for a new taste. Try using mozzarella for a milder flavor. If you want something stronger, use blue cheese. For a creamier bite, consider using cream cheese. These options keep the biscuits soft and flavorful. Mix different herbs for unique flavors. Basil adds a lovely touch. Oregano gives a warm, earthy taste. You can even use dill for a fresh twist. Experiment with your favorite herbs to find your perfect mix. Add more fun to your biscuits with mix-ins. Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy kick. Cooked bacon adds a crunchy, savory bite. For a spicy twist, try jalapeños. You can also fold in spinach for extra greens. These add-ins bring more flavor and excitement to each bite. After enjoying your savory cheddar herb pull-apart biscuits, you may have some left. To keep them fresh, place the biscuits in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigeration is an option. Just know they may dry out a bit in the fridge. If you want to save your biscuits for later, freezing is a great choice. Allow the biscuits to cool completely. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. After that, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will stay fresh for up to three months. Make sure to label them, so you remember when you made them! To enjoy those biscuits again, you need to reheat them properly. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet. If they seem dry, add a small amount of melted butter on top. Heat for about 10-15 minutes until warm. You can also use a microwave, but they may not be as crispy. Just heat them for 15-20 seconds. Enjoy your biscuits as if they were fresh out of the oven! Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Make the dough and form the balls. Place them in the pan and cover it with plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you're ready, bake them straight from the fridge. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time. These biscuits pair well with many dishes. You can serve them with soups or stews. They also go great with salads or grilled meats. For a simple touch, offer softened butter or herb-infused olive oil for dipping. You can even use them as a side to your favorite breakfast dishes. To make these biscuits dairy-free, substitute the buttermilk with a non-dairy milk and add a splash of vinegar for tang.

Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.

      Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and herbs (chives, parsley, thyme) until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

        In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and buttermilk, stirring until blended.

          Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.

            Using your hands, create small balls of dough (about 1 to 1.5 inches in size) and place them side by side in the prepared cake pan. They should be touching each other.

              Brush the top of the biscuit balls with additional melted butter, if desired, for a golden-brown finish.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Once baked, let the biscuits cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
