Carrot Cheddar Biscuits

I made up this recipe by looking at my drop biscuit recipe plus some recipes for corn bread and cheddar biscuits. I wanted a little bit of a corny taste but with carrots and cheddar as the main taste. They turned out delicious!

Carrot Cheddar Biscuits

1 1/2 c flour (I used whole wheat)
1/2 c corn flour (I used freshly ground popcorn, but you can use corn meal.)
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t garlic powder
1 T chopped dried onions
1/3 c canola oil
almost 1 c milk
1 T vinegar
1 1/2 c grated carrots (chopped in food processor)
1/2 c grated cheddar cheese
1/8 c melted butter (optional)


1. Mix flours, baking powder, salt, soda, garlic powder, and dried onions together in a medium sized bowl.
2. Pour in canola oil and use pastry blender to mix into a wet sandy texture.
3. Put 1T vinegar in a measuring cup then pour milk to fill it to 1 cup. Add milk, vinegar, and carrots to bowl and fold in.
4. Add cheddar cheese and melted butter.
5. Drop onto a cookie sheet, makes 12 biscuits.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
