Try our recipe for high-protein old cheddar biscuits. These biscuits are easy to make with just five ingredients and packed with cheesy goodness.

Biscuits Ready In Under 30 minutes

From start to finish, I took about 25 minutes to make these old cheddar biscuits.

I went with the Greek yogurt and floured it as I did with my flatbread but used self-raising flour.

They couldn’t have turned out any better, and if you don’t tell Mrs. CBB, I won’t, but I ate three biscuits.

Perfect for Christmas morning, New Year’s Day, lunch, breakfast, snack, or Sunday brunch.

Heck, bring one to bed with you.

The only tip I can think of that would be important is to cool the biscuits on a rack to keep the bottom crunchy.

You can transfer them to a bag or box for up to three days when cool.

These biscuits freeze well; when I want one, I take it out to defrost and enjoy.

Crusty Bottom Old Cheddar Biscuits

To get the crispy bottom on the old cheddar biscuits, spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.

I used Pam cooking spray and gave it one light coating, but you can use any brand you’d like.

Avoid moving the biscuits around while baking so the crust forms at the bottom.

You will know when the old cheddar biscuits are done because the tops will be golden brown.

The baking process takes 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.

Do not overbake the biscuits.

Oven-Fresh Breakfast Biscuits

I sliced the old cheddar biscuit and added three slices of turkey breast deli meat and cream cheese once it cooled.

If I had time that morning, I would have added a fried egg to add even more protein.

Another idea would be breakfast sausage (Costco has delicious breakfast sausage in the freezer section), cheese, and poached egg.

Ingredients For Old Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded old white cheddar – Use old for that sharp cheddar taste.
• 2 cups self-raising flour or all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder (you can find the flour at any Canadian grocery store or Amazon Canada. BRODIE makes it.)
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1/3 cup 2% Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp salt
• Optional
• Add any other spices you’d like.

Hot Buttered Fresh Biscuits

Fresh from the oven, slice the old cheddar biscuit in half and slather with butter.

Sometimes, I like to add butter and my homemade strawberry rhubarb chia jam with cream cheese.

I know it sounds nutty, but it’s so delicious. Try it with any jam you like.

Bakers Seven

I know it’s odd that there are only seven, but that’s how many biscuits I could manage with a large #8, 4oz ice cream scoop.

If you want to make them a bit smaller for kids or snacks, you could squeeze eight biscuits out, but they are the perfect size.

How To Make Old Cheddar Biscuits

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add the flour, milk, Greek yogurt, salt, and cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix with a spoon to combine all of the ingredients.
4. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and give it a blast of cooking spray.
5. Scoop 7 scones using a 4oz #8 large ice cream scoop about 1 inch apart.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
7. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack so the bottoms stay crispy.

Protein-Packed Biscuits

For each 4 oz high protein biscuit, there are 6.4 grams of protein.

Add more protein by incorporating meat, seafood, vegetables, legumes, or dairy products.

Including one large egg and three slices of turkey deli meat adds 21 grams of protein.
