| Cut cheddar cheese into small cubes and let dry 24 hours, the firmer cheese does not melt and run out of your biscuit! |
Well you can. Go ahead and slice off that dry end, but do not throw it away. Then slice off another 1/4 inch of cheese, and if that block of cheese is small, you might want to cut off two 1/4 inch slices. Then dice it all up, say about 1/4 inch in size and leave it on a plate or cutting board to "air dry". You can put this in a cupboard overnight, allowing the cheese cubes to dry and yet stay safe from any flying kitchen visitors.
Then make these cheddar drop biscuits!
I have been drying cheese just like this, on purpose for years to use in baked goods, because I wanted the cheese to stay in the baked item, not melt and run out all over the baking pan. Remember the Fluffy Biscuit Muffins? These drop biscuits, are a simple spin off from that recipe and a great way to use up that unfortunate cheese!

This is a new one one me! I am planning to make a loaf of Cheddar Cheese Bread this afternoon. The recipe calls for shredded cheese, but I might go ahead and dice it, then leave it to dry for a few hours. ---Rocquie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use dried cheese!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Your biscuit recipe is a must try! They look and sound delicious, love that cheese. Thanks for the recipe and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love drop biscuits because of the crunchy little tips that form when baked.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great trick for salvaging what would normally be wasted and a great trick for not allowed the cheese to melt!
