Ingredients for Art Smith S Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits

  • Self Rising Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for the skillet)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • Buttermilk
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Art Smith S Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter and 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk, stirring gently until just moistened. Add 1 tablespoon more buttermilk if needed.
  5. Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet.
  6. Once the butter is melted, drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot skillet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown on top and bottom.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
