Cheddar cheese: For the most accurate results, great the cheddar fresh from a block. My 1 1/4 cups of freshly grated cheddar weighed 65 grams. Bagged pre-shredded cheese may weigh differently by volume.
Notes
My #1 Tip
Use real, whole-fat buttermilk! It’s thicker and richer and helps give these biscuits their tender texture. I like Prairie Farms whole buttermilk. I don’t recommend using milk mixed with vinegar because it simply isn’t the same as real buttermilk, especially in biscuits.Nutrition
