Love the recipe here’s what you need to make it !! Dry 2 cups all purpose floor 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 Teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt preferably coarse 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper if you would like spice 6 tablespoons cold cubed butter (incorporate with the dry ingredients just until combined do not overwork) 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese 3 tablespoons chopped chives or Dill whatever your preference Wet 1 1/3 cup of buttermilk 425• degrees pre heated for 12 minutes with rotation half way through

[@Siddhi1395]

So he baked it at lower temp, yeah?

[@garyalfjose]

@@Siddhi1395 It's high temp.

[@globalcitizenn]

Can someone please tell me what rotate the biscuits means? Turn the biscuits over or rotate the tray around? Thank you

[@teshaunacamille8246]

@@globalcitizenn When you turn them halfway through baking them in the oven turn the pan the opposite direction of the way you put it in the oven

[@angelsbutterflies6293]

Thank you for putting the ingredients here for us because i was looking for them. Appreciate it.

[@msr1116]

I'd rather freeze the butter then shred it on the large holes of a box grater. Our fingers' heat wind up softening the butter no matter how quickly we work, and no messy, oily hands and fingernails to scrub clean either.

[@MrBadmintonlover]

Greetings from Singapore !Made 2 batches today ! First was exactly how your recipe requires (savory)and second was a little sweeter. Yumilicious ! Simple, straight forward. Thank you Chef !

[@googleuserg2685]

What an amazingly simple recipe...love the idea of just scooping them onto the tray rather than cutting them, and the fact that the recipe doesnt require eggs. Thankyou Chef Thomas; I love all your videos !!

[@rodbryans4929]

This is by far the best recipe I have found on the internet. Simple ingredients, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I have sent this to everyone I know. They have all loved it. Well done. One small addition was a pinch of cayenne to warm the palate.

[@Jenkredible]

Made these this morning! So good! Didn’t have butter milk, used cream of tartar and whole milk.

[@sandrasiegler1022]

My children and I made these some years ago. I love your addition of the chopped chives. We didn't add the cayenne but tried the recipe with a wonderful spicy pepper jack and they were great as well. I would think that chopped scallions would be an awesome addition. The beauty of these, like any recipe is creating a tasteful treat to suit not only your taste, but what you have available in your kitchen or pantry. Thank you for the mini tutorials you give on your site too.

[@JL-lc1vp]

Thomas Joseph, you are my favorite. You are so exact and your explanations are very clear.

[@arlene9342]

Just made these and they are DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

[@jazzminealvarado3103]

I really appreciate the basic scientific explanation behind things. That really helps me remember tips. also, these were amazing. I froze and grated my butter in and they were sooo layery. thanks for the recipe!

[@noodle4516]

I made this the other day. Extremely delicious!

[@boulder89984]

Always great when the science behind the method is explained.

[@enjoy7024]

I’m addicted to these biscuits. They’re so amazing

[@jaymonsale2712]

E Ka well well well would you look at this 😂😂😂

[@christinaconnery9419]

AHHH THIS IS MY FAVORITE TYPE OF BISCUIT!!!!!

[@mellostation]

I freaking love it when Thomas has a writing utensil behind his ear. It's just so charming. I literally watched the entire conundrum playlist yesterday on marathon but noticed that there are a ton NOT in the playlist! Must vet through the whole everyday food channel now! 😳

[@rachaelmt2984]

Thank you so much Joseph - love from Prague! just made these - i didnt have buttermilk, used greek yogurt instead and didnt have cheddar, used maasdaam, edam and parmegiano and it is still so good - thank you for the measurements and easy to follow instructions!

[@globalcitizenn]

Did you dilute the yoghurt with water?

[@noviceprepper5397]

thanks thomas joseph, looks delicious

[@7spiritualcompass706]

Thank you. I'm going to attempt this recipe. ❤👍

[@yessiare5883]

This is very informative,thank you

[@mojomodel]

Truly the easiest and BEST biscuits I have ever made! Thank you! I halved the recipe and didn't have buttermilk so I just used coconut milk and 1 tablespoon ACV. I had less cheese but still freakin' fantastic, moist & delicious & a bit healthier! Thank you! P.S. really loved that you explained what each ingredient does so I could try to play scientist and substitute what I thought would work. mmm mmm good!

[@CreativeKitchen]

That biscuits looks so delish!I have to try!

These look delicious

[@therapeuticcalm8517]

Hi Thomas. Would you mind doing a video on the differences of flour? What makes bread flour, bread flour? What makes cake flour, cake flour? Why do some cake require cake flour, self-rising or all purpose?

[@carissa47728]

Hi Therapeutic Calm. I might not be Thomas but I can help you with that. Thre reason flour is classified by name is because they have different levels of protein. Bread flour has the most protein because you need alot of protein to make good bread. But with cookies you need to use something with lower protein

[@hannahbadics2926]

Made some with half whole wheat flour and half oat flour! Really good!

[@bernadineh7107]

this is just like my mums cheese scone recipe (from New Zealand). For a sweet version you can use cream instead of milk. Also for sweet version you can use for your liquid a can of soft drink aka soda aka carbonated lemonade which helps keep the scone light and airy

[@howardthepomeranian8058]

Awesome!!

[@375f6]

These look delicious & so easy to make :)

[@revallivesor8181]

just had to sub so i can make this. thanks greetings from Hawaii

[@tubeboy876]

biscuits looks so yummy 😋seek the lord be it too late, thanks I'll try it.

[@tonyc.4392]

Lovely recipe. My mom taught me a great tip for mixing the biscuit mixture: use a butter knife. It allows you to mix but is hard to overmix with.

[@m.anggianggara21]

I love that💗

[@pathsofnature8806]

Oh wow! This reminds me of cobblers which is a fruit of the season mix with a similar pastry cake mix as a topping! These look good to try as well!

[@pathsofnature8806]

Yes, it's the drop down cobbler biscuit type bakes.

[@revallivesor8181]

just had to sub so i can make them. thanks greetings from Hawaii

[@MamaMittens]

I could eat that entire tray of biscuits....

[@nelsonolano8666]

Lovely

[@BLooDExPLoSiVE]

The thumbnail looks like red lobster biscuits 😍😍😍

[@Marie45610]

AKA the best biscuits

[@trevorpinnocky]

+Marie as a southerner I'm going to have to say... no. ☺️

[@leora2792]

trevorpinnocky I'm a southerner and I still agree with Marie.

[@aquagamer1212]

trevorpinnocky As a southerner, there's something wrong with you. #CheddarBayMasterBiscuit

[@my2cents2u]

Because the recipes are almost identical. Red Lobster 'Cheddar Bay Biscuits' use garlic powder, these use chives. Otherwise.pretty much the same biscuit.

[@Seariders4eva]

Best cheesy biscuits ever & so easy which I love :)

[@jessvaladez89]

I'm in love with him!!!💕💕

[@FeelYourMeal]

Looks yummy :)

[@aliciatavizon001]

Great video! I am planning to use your recipe and use goat cheese instead!

[@jjarm]

“Gold the lily”. Awesome expression.

[@crystalsecretin]

It's "gild" the lily. Very old expression.

[@amnaj8210]

yummy

[@NM-oz8iv]

Wooow .. Yammy

[@popazz1]

Mmmmm, cheese scones, a real favourite of mine. The addition of buttermilk rather than ordinary milk must make for another dimension in taste. I was actually looking for a classic biscuit recipe but was sidetracked,lol. But of course, the US version would be, I guess, a cookie. And the chef is a hunk. ;-)

[@ilikescheese4110]

I’m going to make these in cooking class tomorrow at school but a lot simpler method :p

[@laceywoods624]

2 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tbs sugar 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt Pinch cayenne 6 tbs butter 1 1/2 cup cheese 3 tbs chives 1 1/3 cup butter milk 400 degrees 13 min

[@chophappy]

yasss!!!

[@Ildefons2000]

Hi! What do you think about using almond flour instead of traditional flour? :) Thanks!

[@bluestarcry]

Yum!!!!!!!

[@ieatwhaticook]

nice

[@fatimaasmin298]

Ur voice is superb

[@jennywhisconier7777]

can i freeze this dough and for how long?

[@davemcbroom695]

We only buy single acting baking powder. It reacts with heat, so you can set the dough aside for a while after mixing with the dairy.

[@dianacrews8499]

Can we use self rising flour instead of all purpose?

[@wafaaljanahi7989]

Do I have to add butter milk?

[@akbbaghdadi7727]

what can I use instead of milk butter

[@pritymehta3414]

Can we store these cookies & for how many days ?

[@wskong]

1 1/3 cup of buttermilk makes my batter wet, even though I just put 270g of buttermilk. In the recipe link it is stated as 1 teaspoon of sugar but in video it is 1 tablespoon of sugar

[@Pp.lolita.dollie]

We made these in class today, along with sunny side up eggs, and turkey bacon.

[@leecranton]

Are these good for freezing?

[@Vocaloidhimeyaoi]

Hey! Excellent video, as always :D By the way, I have this problem making japanese cotton cheesecake. I have tried different recipes that I have found on the internet but it never comes out like it does in the videos. Instead, I always (like, ALWAYS) end up getting a chewy deflated brownish stuff that looks like napolitan flan. I never change anything from the recipes and I do everything as they tell me to do, but it just doesn't turn out well. I'm desperate :'(

[@shizumichan24]

I think i can help you with this. Japanese cheese cake rised by the air in your meringue, so if you 1) didnt beat the egg white long enough (a little more thn soft peak) 2) overbeat the batter (you have to fold gently the egg white to the flour and cheese mixture) , than your cake will delate and just come out chewy cuz there's no air for it to rise. So make sure you beat your egg whites till at least soft peak and fold gently, just enough, and bake it long time (350F for like an hour) than it should be a success :D

[@Blueskies1180]

This is my standard recipe I go to for all my biscuits…. I do add a lot more spices to my batter though….ie. garlic powder, onion powder, chill powder, sometimes a dash of cumin, I also add parsley, and sometimes I’ll add chopped jalapeños for a kick. The combinations are endless. I also prefer to omit the sugar unless I’m making a sweet biscuit. 👍🏽

[@brendadouglas5269]

Can I use bisquick ?

[@nettdee7116]

can i use margarine instead of butter

[@bonitaashford]

this is an excellent formula Thomas; I don't put buttermilk in but mine came out just as nice with Natura soy original & a little club soda equal to the liquid measurement. Also as I do with my scones I replaced 1/2 cup of the flour with Oat "flour" which is large flake oats which I process in my mini cuisinart for about 30 seconds...gives a great flavour to either the savory or sweet biscuits. My 83 yr old mother is having some dietary issues lately and not getting sufficient calories and these are an amazing way of getting some excellent protein, vitamins and calories into her. I also make them "sweet" but just using vanilla, 2 tablespoons organic natural cane sugar (or honey) and perhaps sliced almonds cranberries or golden raisins....so as you say just a variation on my standby scones. THANKS AGAIN....YOU ARE A BRILLIANT BAKING SCIENTIST AND love your presentation always. BA

[@anjanaharpalani9252]

hi! Looks delicious! I don't get buttermilk here. Can I substitute it with yoghourt?

[@markevans7461]

Anjana Harpalani the have a vid on buttermilk substitutes in the kitchen conundrums series on this channel.

[@tabituhrubbuhz4766]

These biscuits are divine ! Even easier to do than your mom. AMAZING

[@maxduong4537]

If I don’t have parchment paper, what can I use?
