Goat Cheese Biscuits

I love, love, love Goat Cheese. It is really the one thing that makes it so hard for me to be completely vegan.

I decided to cook up one of my favorite "sick" meals on Monday night, since I was getting over a nasty head cold. Some Amy's 'No-Chicken Noodle Soup' and Goat Cheese Biscuits.

Ingredients: 
2 Cups Flour 
1 tsp Salt
2 ounces Butter (plus a little extra)
2 ounces Goat Cheese
1 cup Buttermilk*
Cast Iron Skillet**

*I don't drink cow milk. Instead I used 1 cup soy milk+juice of 1 lemon and let it sit for about 8-10 minutes. If you don't have buttermilk you can do the same with regular milk as well, or some white vinegar. Easy fix so you don't have to spend money getting buttermilk for one recipe!
**I used my cast iron skillet for this recipe because...I love my cast iron skillet. Although previous times I've made it I've just used a baking sheet. 


The first step is to preheat the oven WITH the cast iron skillet/baking sheet inside. While it's preheating, combine the flour and salt in a big bowl. 


Cut the butter into the flour. I've always ended up cutting my butter outside the flour mixture, and then added it in because I don't have the fancy tool that does it for you. Do the same with the goat cheese. Mix it around good so that all the butter and goat cheese is covered in flour. Then make a little well in the middle of your flour mixture and pour the buttermilk into the center. Mix until everything is good and sticky. 


By now, the oven and preferred baking container should be ready to go. Pop in a little bit of butter so the biscuits don't stick to the pan and then just drop some biscuits down. I don't worry about the shape too much, they taste the same no matter what they look like! 

Right about to go into the oven! 
Bake these puppies for about 15 minutes, or until the tops start to go a little golden brown. You can brush some melted butter on top if you want, I never do because that's just too much butter for my tastes. 

Fresh out of the oven! MMM MMM GOOD! Definitely eat these warm if you can.

The full comfort food meal. Oh so good. 




These biscuits are also really good for breakfast. Warm them up in the microwave, or on the stove and put some jelly on top, very yummy.
