Herb and Cheddar Biscuits
It’s a rainy day here on the farm. I’m not complaining. We’ve been suffering through a bit of a drought here on the prairies and any sign of a decent rain is reason to celebrate. With rain comes comfort food, at least for me. These Herb and Cheddar Biscuits are perfect slathered in butter, jam or dipped in delicious gravy.
These biscuits are versatile; you can use them for morning breakfast sandwiches, afternoon tea biscuits, dipped in a stew fresh off the crock pot or smothered in cream peas. I like to make up a batch to have on hand for my morning beef jerky jam and egg sandwiches; you can’t go wrong with these around.

reading over the instructions, where does the 1 cup of cheddar cheese get added?
Sorry about that; sometimes I get ahead of myself. I added it to the recipe. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
