Vincent Price Cheese Delights Biscuits

Most recipes online from Mr. Price have been from his best-known cookbook, “A Treasury of Great Recipes.” This one, however, is based on a recipe from the cookbook published with his wife in 1969, “Come into the Kitchen.” Posted on a request from folks looking for Vincent Price cheese bread recipes. Prep time does not include chilling.

6 dozen 1 1/4-inch biscuits

Ingredients

1/2 cup chilled butter
1/2 lb grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
split blanched almond, for garnish
salt, to taste

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a bowl, cream together the butter and cheddar cheese (you can use an
    electric mixer, if you like - just be sure not to overmix).

  3. Mix in the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper.

  4. Gather dough into a ball, cover with plastic, and chill in refrigerator
    for 1 hour.

  5. Remove from refrigerator and turn out the dough onto a lightly-floured
    board.

  6. Roll dough to a 1/4-inch thickness and cut with a small round biscuit
    cutter.

  7. Place biscuits on a non-stick baking sheet, press a half of a blanched
    almond in the center of each biscuit, and lightly sprinkle the biscuits to
    taste with salt.

  8. Bake at 350 degrees F for 7 to 8 minutes until golden.
