Kitten’s Easy Processor Cheddar Drop Biscuits

Using a processor to blend the flour and butter insures for a light flakey biscuit and makes these a snap to make!

Notes from our test kitchen; make certain to have the butter very cold,  before using, it is recommended to cut into small pieces and freeze for about 10 minutes, garlic lovers add in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Yield 8-10 biscuits

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

3-4 teaspoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (do not omit!)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup very cold butter, cut into small pieces

1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (can use up to 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup milk

3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions:—————————————-

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Set oven rack to second-lowest position (this is important or the bottoms will bake out very dark).

Generously grease a medium baking sheet.

In a processor combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt (if you are adding in the garlic powder add it in now) process for a few seconds to combine.

Add in the cold butter cubes and process for about 5-6 seconds or until combined with the flour.

Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.

Mix in the cheddar cheese.

Add in milk and using a spoon gently mix until combined (do not over mix!).

Using a tablespoon drop mounds of dough onto baking sheet (you should have about 8-10 dough mounds).

Using your hands lightly press down the dough to remove any tiny points that are sticking up in the dough (these tend to over darken and get hard when baked).

Bake for about 10-12 minutes (these don’t take long to bake do not bake until dark brown or biscuits will be dry baking time should be no more than 12-13 minutes).

Immediately generously brush the melted butter over each biscuit.
