  5. Scoop out about ⅓ cup of dough for each biscuit and place them on the baking sheet or fill the muffin tin.
  6. Top each biscuit with the reserved cheese or feta.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
  2. Allow the biscuits to cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

These biscuits can be served warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. For a complete breakfast, consider serving them with scrambled eggs or a side salad. To keep your biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag, and they will keep for up to three months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before enjoying.
