Here's what you are going to need: ½ cup of butter
2 ¼ cups of Self-Rising Flour
1 cup of shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon of dried parsley
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup of milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the stick of butter (½ cup) in an 8 x 8 baking dish and put in the oven to melt (about 3 to 5 minutes).
Remove from oven and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cheese, parsley and sugar.

Add the milk and stir just until moist.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.
This will only take a minute or two.
Shape into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle.

Cut into 12 one-inch strips.

Dip each strip in the butter, carefully turning to coat.
Fold in half and leave in the pan.

Arrange the biscuits in two rows of 6 biscuits.
There will be leftover butter in the pan, this will cook into the biscuits making them crisp and buttery.

Bake in a preheated 400 degree F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from pan and serve warm.

I may have to make a double batch on Christmas :D

[Keltin]

Now THAT is what I'm talking about. I'm on this! Thank you!!! And Bless you!!! :clap:

[Fisher's Mom]

Holy cow, Mama! I can almost taste those!! They are a favorite of my family's at a local restaurant and theirs don't look half as good as yours. I have bookmarked this and I'll be making them in the morning since I just happen to have all the ingredients. Thank you, thank you.

[Deelady]

I would always make the Cheddar Bay biscuits from Red Lobster FM :) But these look even better! Only thing I would add is the garlic on top:wub:

[Adillo303]

[QSis]

Nice job!

I don't think I've ever seen such light and fluffy biscuits in my life :applause:. I love the "stick" idea too, no cutting rounds and then re-working and re-cutting the leftover dough.

[Mama]

Thank you everyone! Let me know what you think if you decide to try them!

[lilbopeep]

oh lord this looks good. i am going to try this very soon!!

i hope you don't mind if i also add some cooked and crumbled bacon just to see how it tastes. :whistle: cheese and bacon perfect together LOL :brows: thank you so much for the recipe. i don't keep self rising flour so it will have to wait till i get some.

my mom never cut hers into rounds. she always cut them into rectangles to avoid what you stated. which results in over worked tough biscuits.

These are so hauntingly good. I had to research. Here is how to get self rising flour if you do not have it.

Peep the bacon sounds great.

I was wondering about some Herbs Du Provence

[Phiddlechik]

I might try some with pepperjack cheese. They look good!

thanks andy hmmmmmmmmmmm i guess i can use my mom's baking powder biscuit recipe and add to that and prep mama's way. i can't wait to try them!! i never dipped and baked biscuits IN butter YUMMY!!

[Mama]

Unlike regular biscuits, you don't cut shortening into the flour with these. You can make your own "self-rising" flour by adding baking powder and salt but I'm just not a big fan of the way baking powder biscuits taste...using store bought self-rising flour does make a difference.

I hope y'all will post pics of your variations here...I'd love to see and hear about them.

These are awesome!!!! I made these to go with our chili tonight. They are all gone! Thank you Mama.......
Mine didn't turn out as pretty as yours but they were damn good!

[Mama]

I'm glad you liked them! They look wonderful! They don't last long at my house either...but at least they don't take long to make.

[homecook]

No time at all. They're awesome!! I will be making them again....

[Keltin]

I’m no baker, but I really wanted to do this. And……it was a bit of a promise and trial that I do it. Love ya’ Barb!

So….I waded in, broke out the flour (which usually leaves me screaming in fits) and made these!

Actually, if you can get over your (or MY…..could just be me) fear of flour, this is a rather easy recipe to do. You may sweat it the first time (like I did) if you aren’t a baker, but you can easily get comfortable with this one and end up shining like a master baker.

I have so much love and thanks to Mama for posting this and Homecook (Barb) for pushing me to do it! Love you guys!

AND……these things are outstanding! Such tender and flaky goodness. Love this!

Uh….Holy CARP! These are good! We are LOVING these! This is my new go-to recipe for biscuits! Thanks Mama, your tutorial was spot on and so easy to follow!

Here is how it went for me. In the end, we had these with left over potato soup that I made last night. Wonderful!!!
