What goes into the Smoked Gouda and Cheddar Cheese Biscuits?
To make these super easy homemade biscuits, you will need:
- Some all-purpose flour.
- A tablespoon of baking powder. Make sure to use fresh for best results. If it’s been sitting in your cabinet for a while, it may be time to trade it in.
- A touch of baking soda and salt.
- Some garlic powder, for extra flavor.
- Grated cheddar cheese and grated smoked gouda cheese. Hand grate the cheese for best results.
- 3 scallions, sliced thinly. these go right into the biscuit dough.
- Heavy cream. This will serve as the fat, like butter in a traditional biscuit recipe.
- 2 tbsp melted butter, for brushing tops of biscuits. Alternatively, you could also use a bit of heavy cream for this step.
Making the Dough and Hand rolling the biscuits
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients until well combined. Add the cheese, scallions and cream- gently fold with a wooden spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated, and a loose dough forms. If the dough seems a bit dry, you can add a bit more cream.
Dough texture
The dough should not be wet, but it should come together easily and form well. If it’s too crumbly, it will be hard to form. Alternatively, if you are feeling like the dough is a bit too wet, add a bit more flour.
Divide into 8 even pieces, and roll gently with your hands into biscuits, pressing lightly to flatten them a bit.
Baking the biscuits
Transfer the biscuits to a greased skillet or baking dish, brush tops generously with melted butter, and bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Serving suggestions
These biscuits are great hot from the oven with a bit of melted butter, or toasted. You can also use them to make breakfast sandwiches, or serve them with sausage gravy! I love these biscuits with my Chorizo Sausage Gravy!
Tools for great biscuits
A mixing bowl, to combine the wet ingredients and dry ingredients.
A baking dish or cast iron skillet.
A brush, for brushing the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
Fresh baking powder, to ensure they rise nicely.
A good cheese grater.
A sharp knife and cutting board, for prepping the scallions.
Substitutions and additions
These biscuits can be customized to your tastes/what you have on hand. Here are a few ideas!
- Use all cheddar, instead of a mix of smoked gouda and cheddar, or vice versa.
- Try a different cheese, such as pepper jack, gruyere, or Swiss. Just be sure to hand grate, and keep the measurements the same. Stay away from high moisture cheeses, such as fresh mozzarella, for best results.
- Replace the scallions with a tbsp of fresh chopped rosemary, scallions or parsley.
- Brush the tops with a bit more heavy cream, rather than butter, for a similar browning effect.
Storing the biscuits
Once the Cheddar Cheese Biscuits are fully cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or 2, or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze these in ziplock freezer safe bags for up to 2 months!
