I made what I guess you can call a variation of these biscuits this morning, but also based on a recipe by Marcia Adams from her "Heirloom Recipes" for "Cheese Biscuits." I would have added the pizza dough flavor if I had thought about it, but instead I used 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. Her recipe called for thyme and rosemary, which didn't sound appetizing to me, so I left that out. Her recipe (which uses 2 cups of flour not 3), calls for 1-1/2 tablespoons minced onion, and in addition to 1 cup of grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, also 1/4 cup grated Parmesan. Instead of buttermilk (or yogurt/sour cream), her recipe called for 1 cup of heavy cream. I was short about 1/3 cup of heavy cream, so made up the balance with half-and-half. The biscuits turned out great. I think the addition of the minced onions put these over the top (I used dried not fresh onions, by the way). My husband suggested adding cut up pepperoni slices next time. I bet they would be good, especially if I remember the pizza dough flavor . Pizza biscuits!! Ooooh, Beth - pizza biscuits? You go, girl!
