Ham and Cheese Drop Biscuits
Description
This recipe incorporates sharp cheddar cheese and diced ham into a biscuit dough flavored with garlic powder, black pepper, parsley, and leavened by baking powder and baking soda for rise. Grating frozen butter ensures small pieces are evenly distributed, creating flaky texture in each biscuit.
Upon baking at a high temperature, the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft and tender, with cheesy, savory morsels throughout. The fresh parsley adds a subtle herbal accent and freshness to the rich biscuit bites.
These drop biscuits can be served warm alongside soups, salads, or as a snack. Their convenient drop-shape makes them quick to make without rolling or cutting dough, suitable for casual meals or brunches with a comforting savory touch.
