Take a look as Adam Baumgart welcomes A&M into the kitchen at Bluebird Coffee Shop for the big reveal behind our favorite cheese biscuits (which Merrill wrote about earlier this week).
Note the secret here: use the paddle attachment of your stand mixer and then your hands. Cold butter and gentle mixing keeps the cheddar-strewn dough as pillowy as possible, so handle with care!
To see the full recipe (and save and print it), go here. This week's videos were once again shot and edited by filmmaker Elena Parker.

Can't wait to try this out! Looks delicious!
Wow, these are really good. They are monstrous, they rise like crazy, and so so yummy! Mine took more like 30 minutes to bake, and I did them once with cheddar, and once with jack- both were awesome.
dang. Now I really really want a biscuit. I bet a smoky cheese would be good in these too
I not only use the Kitchen Aid for biscuit, but for my pie dough. It makes the flakiest dough and they just melt in your mouth. If I didn't have a stand mixer, I'd use a pastry cutter before the food processor! Susan
James Peterson also recommends using a mixer for tart/pie crust, because he says the food processor heats the dough too much and makes the butter pieces end up too small. It's the butter pieces that make dough flakey, so you don't want them to be tiny.

I can't imagine using all-purpose flour for biscuits. It's just too heavy.

I made these this morning. I have to say I was skeptical: my dough seemed dry and tough, not anything like the dough in the video. But, once they were baked, my family was fighting over them. They were soooo good! Crunchy on the outside but so soft on the inside. Yum. I made half the recipe, which was just enough for my husband and myself, plus two teenaged boys, for breakfast. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
