If you love a warm, fluffy biscuit but hate the fuss, 3-Ingredient Cheddar Biscuits are about to be your new favorite go-to. These quick, cheesy biscuits are everything you crave in a homemade side—soft, golden, comforting—with absolutely zero rolling, kneading, or waiting involved. They come together in one bowl with just biscuit mix, milk, and sharp cheddar. That’s it!
Whether you’re serving soup, chili, or just need something warm and cheesy on the table fast, these biscuits are the answer. The drop-biscuit style means no shaping or cutting required—just scoop, bake, and enjoy.
Fun fact? Biscuits have deep Southern roots, originally made with lard and buttermilk as a quick alternative to yeast bread. Today’s quick-mix version makes it even easier to bring that comforting Southern charm to your table—cheddar style.
So next time you need a crowd-pleasing side or crave something cozy, these cheesy drop biscuits are just 3 ingredients and 12 minutes away from golden perfection.
Recipe Yield: 8 biscuits
INGREDIENTS
2 cups biscuit mix (like Bisquick)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
⅔ cup whole milk
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, stir together the biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and milk until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky—don’t overmix!
3. Shape the biscuits:
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8 heaping mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between each for spreading.
4. Bake until golden:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the edges are lightly crisp. Remove and let cool slightly before serving warm.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Extra-Sharp Cheddar for Flavor: Bolder cheese adds more punch, so don’t be shy with your sharp cheddar!
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overmixing makes biscuits tough—just mix until everything is barely combined.
- Serve Warm for Max Deliciousness: These biscuits are best fresh from the oven, so plan to serve them while they’re still warm and melty.
