  • Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well.
  • Add mix-ins including vegetables, herbs, and cooked meat along with 1 cup of cheese and ham. Mix until ingredients are fully combined.
  • Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 12 even-sized 1-inch thick round disk shaped biscuits. Arrange on prepared baking tray and sprinkle tops with remaining cheese.

  • Once the bottoms are golden brown and tops are just beginning to brown, your biscuits are done!

Notes

These biscuits are denser than traditional flaky biscuits and are perfect for a quick breakfast. Substituting meats alters the recipe's nutrition content. Nutrition information based on the original variation.
