Cheddar Bay Drop Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 3

Combine yeast and pinch of sugar to warm water. Stir to dissolve; set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy.

Step 5

In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and Old Bay Seasoning. Using a pastry blender, cut cold butter into dry ingredients until butter is the size of peas.

Step 7

Stir in buttermilk and yeast mixture. Stir in cheddar cheese and parsley. Do not over mix. Using hands mix dough until it just comes together into a large ball.

Step 9

Generously spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place a second baking sheet underneath to prevent bottoms from getting too brown.

Step 11

Measure ¼ cup of dough, form into 3-4 mini patty shapes that are flat on top. Transfer to baking sheet. Space each biscuit 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 13

Mix melted butter and ¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning.

Step 15

Bake biscuits 10 minutes. Brush with melted butter mixture and sprinkle with flaked salt. Bake 2 additional minutes, or until light golden brown. Serve warm.
