How to Make the BEST Beef and Bleu Cheese Biscuits
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Beef and Bleu Cheese Biscuits: Self rising flour, bleu cheese or gorgonzola cheese, fresh chives, garlic paprika, granulated sugar, heavy cream and dried beef.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, biscuit cutters, whisk sharp knife and chopping board, measuring cups and spoons and sheet pans.
- I enjoy the robust flavor of bleu cheese, and I tend to gravitate to those that are heavily blue veined. However, I recognize that this is an acquired taste so, for these biscuits, I chose to use a milder Gorgonzola cheese which often appeals to a wider audience.
- The beef used in these biscuits is dried beef and usually comes in a small jar. It’s salty and dried chipped beef like you’d use to make chipped beef gravy. It’s readily available at most grocery stores and places like Target and Walmart.
- You can make these biscuits any size you like depending on the cutter used. The pictures are using a 2 1/2 biscuit cutter. Appetizer size, use a 1 inch cutter.
- These biscuits can be served with a side of sweet chive butter to accompany any meal at any time of day.
- I highly recommend using White Lily flour if it’s available in your area to make the best biscuits.
- My favorite way to serve these for a high tea or brunch is to add a couple of slices of juicy tomato, a light sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of horseradish sauce. The trio of beef, bleu cheese and horseradish turns these into the fillet mignon of biscuits.
- Store baked Beef and Bleu Cheese Biscuits wrapped in foil chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave.
