Alright, I know I’m setting SOMEBODY up by posting this recipe, but we need to understand something, here.

I don’t eat wheat grass and cattails all day, darn it. I like my edible hedonism to come in the form of nice gooey cheesy things. Like Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

I’ll talk about my philosophy on “treating” yourself or “cheating your diet” another day… ’cause all you want is the recipe, anyway!

1 cup flour
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4th cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp garlic
your choice: either 1/4-13rd cup of parmesan, or 1/3rd cup of sharp cheddar

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine everything except the cheese in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don’t want to mix too thoroughly. Add cheese, milk, and garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix. I take parsley and shake it over the top of the dough, and mix it in a little more. Just makes it more attractive to the eye, to me.

3. Drop approximately ¼-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.

4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, you can also mmix a little olive oil with garlic powder and some dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic spread over the tops of all the biscuits.

I will tell you, the parmesan version is MUCH lighter on the calories, and thanks to the combination of flavors, you can get away with using less of it and still getting great flavor. I make these literally maybe every two months. I’m not one for “treating myself” with food anymore. I treat with shoes. Mmm… shoes.

Ok, something CANT be right. I just used sparkpeople to calculate the calories, and if you make 10 using 2% sharp cheddar the calories are only around 150 for 1? That’s not that bad (if you only have 1 lol)

Ok so I made this. I did have to use a smidge more heavy cream, as the mixture did not fully form without adding more. However, this came out delicious!! Perfect consistency and moist on the outside and a little crunch on the outside.

I notice your picture has 10 biscuits, what does this recipe yield? I ask because I ended up with 7.

  It depends on the size of your biscuits. You can make giant biscuits, you can make tiny ones. I prefer the tiny ones – so I made 10 – and they worked wonderfully at that size for me!

Since White Flour is almost as nutritionally useless as white sugar, I always substitute with whole wheat flour (there are other alternatives also), and I substituted no fat plain greek yogurt for the heavy cream, eliminating the fat. This left a tasty biscuit (10ct.) at only 79 calories each!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

  That sounds like an amazing clean substitute suggestion! I’m making these tonight, thank you both so much!
