Main Ingredients of Biscuits
-
All-purpose flour
The key ingredient of these cheddar biscuits is all-purpose flour. Before using the flour, place it in the freezer for half an hour and then use it. You will great results with this simple trick.
However, for people who have a gluten allergy, there is no need to miss out on these delicious biscuits. You can still eat these biscuits by substituting it with gluten-free flour. Then follow the rest of the recipe as before.
-
Baking Powder
Baking powder is another ingredient of the cheddar bay biscuits. It is because of baking powder that the biscuits get that fluffy texture, as it makes the dough to rise.
This happens because the baking powder helps to lighten the texture of biscuits by increasing the size of the trapped air bubbles in the dough.
Otherwise, your biscuits will turn out to be hard instead of being light and fluffy.
Therefore, it is quite important to check if the baking powder you are using is fresh or not. Simply, mix a teaspoon of baking powder into a cup of hot water.
If the baking powder is fresh, you will immediately see bubbles being formed. If no bubbles are formed, you will need to replace it with a fresh one.
-
Buttermilk
-
Butter
For light and flaky biscuits, always use cold butter. This is because when the butter melts on baking, little pockets of air are created as steam is released.
This results in the biscuits being airy and flaky while remaining crisp on the outside.
Another thing to remember is to use unsalted butter. Since these biscuits are already salty, due to the use of cheddar cheese, you do not want to overdo it by using salted butter.
This could prove to be important especially if you are watching your salt intake.

Storage of Cheddar biscuits
You can make them in batches and store them for future use. Cheddar bay biscuits can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 3 days in an air-tight container.
Simply preheat oven to 400°F and bake for 10 minutes. You will get biscuits that will be just like freshly baked ones.
