I have an abundance of yellow squash and what to do? Make biscuits of course!

These biscuits remind me of a popular restaurant chains garlic-cheddar biscuits and are so delicious! Except of course…I’ve added yellow squash to the mix which makes them even more fantastic 😋

Yellow Squash-Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cubed

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced yellow squash

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, onion powder and sugar until combined.

Add the cubed butter into the flour mixture.

Use a pastry cutter, a fork or you can also use your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until lentil-size pieces form.

Stir in the cheddar cheese and squash.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until the dough comes together.

Place the dough on a flour dusted surface and pat gently into three circles and 3/4 – inch thickness.

Dust a 3-inch biscuit cutter with flour and cut 8 biscuits from the dough.

Place the biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Remove from the refrigerator and place the biscuits in a preheated oven of 425 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Serve with tons of butter (ok that’s my personal preference! 😋)
