Microwave Cheddar and Herb Biscuit in a Mug
Description
The "Microwave Cheddar and Herb Biscuit in a Mug" mixes dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and salt—with cold cubed butter rubbed in until crumbly. Cheddar cheese and chopped herbs are stirred in, then milk is added to form a batter. This batter is microwaved for under a minute, causing it to puff and cook quickly, producing a soft, moist biscuit with melted cheese and fresh herb aroma.
The butter provides richness, while the cheese adds savory sharpness and the herbs bring fresh, earthy notes. This method produces a quick biscuit substitute ideal for individual servings or snacks where convenience matters.
Microwave time will vary based on power and mug size, so watching carefully to avoid overflow or overcooking is important. The biscuit is best eaten warm immediately after cooking.
