These came out pretty good. The only thing I added was a bit of garlic powder. I was trying to find a cheddar biscuit recipe that was actually from "scratch", i.e. no baking mix, and was glad to find this one. I did have to knead in some extra flour because the mixture was a bit gooey. Otherwise everything else worked out perfect. Will make again.

My husband is a self-proclaimed "picky buttermilk biscuit eater" and claimed these to be the best he ever has eaten! The kids absolutely loved them,too!

Like the other reviewer, I was looking for a "scratch" cheese biscuit and this fit the bill. For the sake of my kids, I only added the slightest pinch of cayenne.
