Ingredients

The Base:
2 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup salted butter (room temperature)
The Flavor Boosters:
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tbsp unsalted salad spice blend

The Liquid:

Different Liquid Option

1 cup milk or lowfat buttermilk

Instructions

Incorporate Butter: Place the self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to cut in the room-temperature butter until it is well combined with the flour.
Season and Cheese: Add the grated cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salad spice blend, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly to ensure the cheese and spices are evenly distributed.
Mix the Dough: Gradually pour in the heavy whipping cream. Mix until the batter becomes sticky and all the flour is fully incorporated.
Drop and Bake: Grease a baking pan. Using a large spoon, portion out heaping spoonfuls of the dough and drop them onto the pan.
Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 500°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips:

Cream vs. Buttermilk: Using heavy whipping cream makes these biscuits extra rich and tender, while buttermilk will give them that classic Southern tang. Both are delicious!
Don't Overmix: Just like with rolled biscuits, you want to mix until the ingredients are just combined to keep them light and fluffy.
Brush with Butter: For an extra "restaurant-style" finish, brush the tops with a little melted garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven!
