    Thanksgiving is over. By now you should be finished with the dinner leftovers. However, you may still have some ingredients lingering in your refrigerator that you are not sure what to do with.

    I am finding that I have plenty of fresh herbs left and some cheddar from the macaroni and cheese. I decided to put them both to good use in a good ole batch of homemade biscuits.

    These biscuits are simple to make and the fresh herbs give them an amazing flavor. While the cheddar cheese makes them cheesy and a little crispy on the outside as well. It is worth giving these biscuits a try as you will not regret it.

    What ingredients are needed for Cheese Herb Biscuits?

    ingredients for cheddar herb biscuits on counter

    1. Flour
    2. Baking Powder
    3. Sugar
    4. Cream of Tartar
    5. Salt
    6. Butter
    7. Egg
    8. Buttermilk or Whole milk
    9. Cheddar Cheese
    10. Fresh Herbs

    What kind of Fresh Herbs should I use?

    You can use any combination of fresh herbs that you have on hand. For this recipe, I chose to use thyme, parsley, rosemary, and sage. Be sure to chop enough of the fresh herbs until you have enough to fill the unit of measurement of ¼ cup. If you prefer not to use a combination of herbs, then you may also use one herb and they will turn out just fine. I have made them before using fresh chopped parsley and they were just as delicious.

    Can I use Dried Herbs instead?

    Yes, you can. However fresh is best so if you can use chopped fresh herbs, then I would suggest that you use them instead of dried. Fresh herbs give these cheddar biscuits amazing aroma, flavor, and they smell amazing while baking.

    How to Make these Cheddar and Herb Biscuits:

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. and prepare a cast-iron skillet or baking dish.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt.

            Yes, you can! Freeze the unbaked biscuits spaced apart on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container.
