I really enjoyed these biscuits, and will be making them again. My oven runs really true to recipe times, but the bottoms were almost burnt, so I'll bake for about 3 minutes less next time. The recipe also doesn't list milk in the ingredients, and I was baffled at first how to turn my flour mixture into a batter. I ended up pouring in milk before the cheese until it was the right consistency. I'm guessing it was about 3/4 cup. I did make a couple of other tweaks: used 1/2 white wheat flour, cut down the butter in half and added an equal amount of applesauce, and chopped my cheese instead of shredding. I think all of my tweaks were fine, though using all of the butter would have made them more rich and shredded cheese would have incorporated it throughout better. But my way was healthier...just couldn't put in a stick of butter. Agree with eating them warm (microwave if needed the next day) but when right out of the oven, no need for butter.
