Comments
This is a modified version of Buttermilk Drop Biscuits. I made these for a gathering at Zekiah and they were a hit. The cheese flavor was great and the biscuits were tender and tasty. Next time, I think I might add some garlic into the melted butter that goes into the batter, to try to up the garlic flavors in the biscuits.
I’ve got a few left in the fridge, so I hope to be adding a picture soon, unless they all get gobbled up before I’m able to!
