Notes about this recipe

    So delicious

    Made with cottage cheese instead of sour cream, turned out great

    These were delicious! Light,tender, flaky. Mine baked for 19 minutes and were perfect. The subtle touch of the onion powder really makes these shine. The dough is very shaggy, and I found it easy enough to work but can also see how an inexperienced biscuit maker would struggle to avoid overworking the dough. I apparently didn't read the directions and shredded my cheese, which worked fine.

    I found this recipe to be very easy, and the dough worked exactly like the recipe said...crumbly/loose but came together. Mine too were a LITTLE stodgy in the middle. I think I might make my squares a bit smaller to help with that in the future.

    Loved the result but the dough was a bear to work with. I resisted the urge to add more liquid and was rewarded with delicious biscuits. Added a bit of garlic powder too and would add chopped chives next time

    Good but felt like it was too much work for the result (mostly with dicing cubes of cheddar cheese rather than being able to use a cup of shredded.) The sour cream resulted in a low moisture dough that was a bit challenging to work with compared to buttermilk doughs. The crispy pools of melted cheese were very nice.

    These are a nice accompaniment to broccoli cheese soup.

    Delicious biscuits; however, mine were stodgy in the middle, perhaps because of all the manipulation required. I'm happy to assume the fault was me. I'll be making them again and will update my rating/comment if needed.
