How to Make Homemade Biscuit Dough:

You can also make your own biscuit dough if you prefer. Be sure to make the drier rolled biscuit dough that is more like pastry, and the not the wetter version that is more like cookie dough. Here’s a simple recipe that will produce fabulous cheese biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup shortening (margarine, lard or butter)
  • ½ to ¾ cup milk

To prepare biscuit dough, follow these steps:

  1. In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients.
  2. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles bread crumbs
  3. Add the milk a little at a time until the dough is soft but not sticky. (You might not need all the milk.)
  4. Roll the dough out one inch thick and cut into rounds.

Garlic cheese biscuits can be frozen after cooking and reheated. To warm them up, be sure to thoroughly thaw at room temperature first. Then warm at 300°F for 10 minutes. They will keep in the freezer for up to three months or in the refrigerator for several days.

    I made these with Crescent rolls and they were great! Very filling. I did reduce the garlic powder to 3/4 tsp. One full tsp. would have been too much for us. I added salt to taste. I topped them with Parmesan, (I was out of Cheddar), but will use Parmesan only in the future. I did rearrange ingredients in the order of use. You might want to re-check your suggestion for converting garlic powder to garlic salt. Reducing by 1/4 does not agree with others on the web… Since the Garlic salt is mainly salt, reducing the total would drastically reduce the amount of garlic, although it would add a bit of needed salt. Proper conversion rates are controversial, but generally involve increasing the amount, not decreasing it. (But then that would be too much salt…) Overall, they were very tasty. Thanks for sharing!

    I just made this today for a half time snack. I cut each biscuit into 4 & flattened those to make bite size. I am going to try & put cheddar cheese on the inside next time. Most of the cheese that i put on top, melted off. Was a great hit!

  3. you could use fat head dough i am making this today with it it is low xarb if you havent heard of it pinrest is great resource would bw good with coconut flour

  4. Are the refrigerated biscuits the same as puff or shortcrust pastry? I am an Australian and we don’t have those biscuits here.

  5. “Nutrition Information”… but there is no nutrition information provided. Any guess on a calorie count?

  6. I think they came out great..would divide the biscuits…would add some grated onion or spice and maybe some crab or chicken…will make again ..i took paper towel and swiped some melted butter on them and sprinkled parm on them..keeper recipe!

    1. I have only baked them right away, but other readers have had success refrigerating and baking later. You may need to add a minute or two to your baking time. Enjoy, Shauna!

  7. I used only 1 Pillsbury Grand Flacky Layers, 16.3 oz.  (8 Biscuits).  Doubled the other part of the recipe.  Separated biscuits to 16, rolled out and cut in half.   Made 32 little smaller than golf balls.  Preparation time was much longer than 5 minutes.  Took about 1 1/2 hours to prepare. 

  8. My husband and I love these! We use the mixture as a dip too,cold or warm it’s great with brusetta bread…we also found that adding chicken or steak adds a yummy twist to the recipe!

      1. Hi Barbara, we have not tried it with refrigerated crescent rolls but it works perfectly with refrigerated biscuit dough, so I imagine it would turn out delicious.

  9. These were delicious!  I decided to cut the Jumbo home style biscuits in half and then roll them out, making 16 mini bombs.  Putting this recipe in my favorite section.  They were da bomb! 

  10. I made this in a 9×12 dish. I used filo dough. I placed it in the bottom of the dish spred the cream cheese mixture then topped it with another layer of filo. When it cooled I cut it into squares with a pizza cutter. It turned out awesome.

  11. Hi I’m from the uk ? Do you know what we would use here as I’m unfamiliar with can of biscuits refrigerated? Many thanks 

  12. I’m not a big fan of biscuits of any kind. However, this looks yummy! So could I sub puff pastry or rolled out crescent roll dough for the biscuit dough.

      that swounds even better using cresants roll dough instead makes it more filled and more to eat than just a small bite.good idea

    Oh my goodness these are delish! made these for my daughters housewarming party yesterday, they were a HUGE hit! would not change a thing. I did make the cheese filling 1 day in advance. The day of the party I assembled the cheese bombs early morning and refrigerated till I was ready, later that day.

    This was a great recipe, but can I suggest that you note what size biscuits to use, such as the large and flaky size or the regular size. I used this recipe in a cooking workshop that I teach and I try them at home first, and since the kids really wanted to make this one I couldn’t nix it just because I did not know exactly what size of something was suppose to be. Needless to say, we did find that using two of the regular sized cans of biscuits worked well and the kids loved the results of the recipe. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    This works with biscuits made from Bisquick, too. Just make the dough, roll it thinner than usual, and cut out the circles to fill. I love this blend of cheeses and other goodies! I’m on the way to the kitchen as we speak! Merry Christmas to all!
