BrunchWeek 2016 is coming to an end soon. I know, I’m sad about it too, but the good news is there is always next year! We’ve had AMAZING sponsors in Dixie Crystals Sugar, Vidalia Onions, Sage Fruit Company, KitchenIQ, Le Creuset, Red Star Yeast, Cabot Cheese, and Nielsen Massey and AMAZING bloggers making AMAZING recipes.
Today’s recipe includes Cabot Cheese. These white cheddar cheese muffin biscuits use the white extra sharp cheddar cheese from Cabot Cheese. I called them muffin biscuits because you bake them in a muffin tin but they are the texture and consistency of biscuits.
To me, the white extra sharp was more sharp than the yellow sharp. Most cheddar biscuits use the yellow sharp but the white extra sharp had a bit more bite or tang. I thought it would be a nice change and I was right. I have to say, this muffin made with either Cabot’s Chipotle Cheddar or Pepper Jack Cheddar would be delicious with a steaming bowl of chili, if you can take some heat.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 3/4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
- 2 1/2 cups Cabot Cheese Extra Sharp White Cheddar (12 ounces)
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush 12 regular size muffin cups with some of the melted butter, reserving balance to brush on biscuits.
- In the bowl of a food processor combine bread flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, blend using on/off pulses. Add 1/2 cup cubed butter and process using on/off pulses until a coarse meal forms.
- Transfer to a larger bowl. Add Cabot Cheese and toss to combine. Add buttermilk and stir just until blended. Better will be sticky.
- Divide among prepared muffin cups, about 1/2 cup to each well.
- Bake biscuits in preheated oven until golden brown about 25 to 30 minutes. Brush tops with remaining melted butter. Cool 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool on wire rack slightly and serve warm.
Notes
Perfect with a steaming bowl of chili.
