These biscuits make a great addition to a summer picnic or back yard barbecue. We have demonstrated this recipe at several cooking classes and were a hit!
We used Golden Ears Cheesecrafters cheddar and butter in this recipe, along with fresh herbs from Backyard Farms and local pasture raised chicken eggs.
