Cheese Stuffed Biscuits. Stumbled upon this recipe on a lazy Saturday morning, on an “America’s Test Kitchen” episode on television. Oh so gooey … try to keep it to 1 per serving :-).
I had never been one to eat biscuits, until stumbling upon one of these cooking shows that walks through “how-to’s”. During this episode they had run through a tutorial for making this recipe, and with embarking on my recent baking adventures, this was one I decided to try making.
Let me know what you think, or if you have other tips.
