This morning I made biscuits to go with our breakfast. I sometimes forget that warm and tasty bread can be created without yeast and hours of dedication. I haven’t baked bread in quite a while due to time constraints, so it was nice to pull warmed baked goods from the oven after about 10 min. of work. I have decided I should make more biscuits. They are so quick and very versatile. This morning I simply added some shredded Cheddar cheese, but in the past I have experimented with dried herbs, other cheeses, and jams. I based these biscuits on this recipe. I used milk in place of the heavy cream and I replaced 1/3 cup of the all-purpose flour with semolina flour. I added a 1/3 cup of shredded Cheddar to the dry ingredients before adding the milk. Also, a food processor is fairly unnecessary, hands work just fine and there is less to clean in the end.
We split our biscuits and stuffed them with a thin slice of Cheddar and a bit of fried egg. Some soft goat cheese is also tasty as a spread or the biscuits can be eaten plain.
These don’t keep that well, so make just enough to be consumed within a few hours or a day. Ideally, eat them warm right out of the oven.

Zarah Maria - I love these mix-them-up-and-eat-them-NOW breads – you know I loved your scones, I’ll definitely have to try these too!
Sweetnicks - Those biscuits look great, and with a slice of cheddar, fried egg and goat cheese? Heavem!
gemma - Yes, (almost) instant gratification in baking is the best sometimes Zarah. I hope they work out for you too!
Thanks Sweetnicks, it was a great breakfast. I am getting hungry thinking about them now!
