Jim N Nicks Cheese Biscuits are a deliciously cheesy treat that can brighten up any meal. With their fluffy texture and savory flavor, the biscuits make a perfect side for dinner or a delightful snack. Baking them is simple and rewarding, so let’s get started.
When it comes to ingredient choices, using freshly shredded cheddar cheese will yield a fantastic flavor and meltability. If you have dietary restrictions, you might consider a gluten-free flour blend for the flour, or using a dairy-free milk alternative. Always check for allergens if serving to others, as some may have sensitivities to cheese or gluten.

Jim N Nicks Cheese Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk (2% works best)
- 1 egg, beaten well
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, mixing them together well.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the dry mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of milk, 1 egg beaten well, and 4 tablespoons softened butter until it is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Spoon the batter into the greased muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
