My Mom has been making mini biscuits for parties for years! They are her “signature” item at baby showers, holiday parties…you name it.
So when she says “OH MY WORD. I’M CHANGING MY RECIPE TO THIS ONE FROM NOW ON!”…you know it’s good. That’s exactly what she said when she tried these mini cheddar biscuits. Hands down, the cutest and tastiest bite sized biscuit around.
Let’s talk about this recipe! I recently received an email from King Arthur Flour introducing their new self-rising flour and the fun news that some of it was on its way to me so I could try out some biscuits!
Sure don’t have to ask me twice to make biscuits…and then eat them! No problemo. Got ya covered.
Now, y’all know me. I wasn’t just going to make “biscuits”. I was going to make itty bitty biscuits filled with sharp cheddar cheese and topped with pimento cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Boom!
The Mini Pimento BLT Cheddar Biscuits were born! They’re about as southern as it gets. Not only that, they would make a delicious addition to almost any occasion!
So up your brunch game..or your baby shower game..or your dinner party appetizer game..just be sure to tell your friends the recipe because they’re going to want it! They’d also make a great appetizer for a Southern Wedding!
Mini Cheddar Biscuits
Best part. The biscuit recipe has 3 ingredients. Truly. They taste so amazing too. MAKE THEM. Mmk…
I love tailoring recipes to fit my favorite flavors so you can certainly do the same. Swap the pimento cheese out for another spread or leave it off altogether.
Thinly sliced ham and a dab of honey would be another dynamite combo. Or just pop these biscuits straight onto a serving tray as is and watch them quickly disappear!
Be on the lookout for some more party food recipes coming soon! You know I love all things mini so I’ll be taking a few favorite dishes and turning them “itty bitty”. Get ready!

Mini Pimento BLT Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unbleached Self-Rising Flour
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup 8 ounces heavy cream
- 1 cup pimento cheese
- 2 cups arugula leaves
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 15-20 strips bacon
Instructions
To make the cheddar biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F, with a rack in the upper third.
- To make the dough by hand: Grate or shred the cheese; you should have about 1 cup. Toss it together with the flour.
- Add the cream, stirring to make a cohesive dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
- Pat the dough flat 3/4″ to 1″ thick; the thicker the disc, the taller the biscuits.
- Use a 1 1/2″ cutter (or the size of your choice) to cut rounds. Place the biscuits on your parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with cream or milk (optional: this will help brown their crust.)
- Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Remove them from the oven.
Assemble the Biscuits:
- Slice each biscuit open (once cooled enough to handle).
- Spread with pimento cheese.
- Layer on bacon, arugula, and slice of cherry tomato. Top with other half of biscuit.
- Use a toothpick to skewer together. Enjoy!

YAY! I bet he will love these! And you will love just how easy they are ;)
They look so cute and I bet they taste delicious!! Pinned it to the recipes I am going to try :-)
Yay! Thanks for the comment (and for pinning!)!
These look like they were rolled ala ‘slice and bake’ style??? Great idea if so.
Oh, great :) This week is my birthday party and I search whole day for a good appetizers and this are the winner! Thank you so much :)
I’m hosting a tea-party themed baby shower for 85 guests, and will have to make as much ahead of time as possible. Can the biscuits be frozen until needed? And if so, was is the maximum length of time that you would recommend freezing them? Thanks for the recipe, and for your suggestions!
Can the biscuits be made a day ahead and assembled the day of the event? What is your recommendation for storing them? Thank you
Could you please help this novice baker out with describing and walking me through the dry ingredient:
2 cups 8 ozs. flour
and the liquid ingredient 1 cup 8 oz. heavy cream.
Thank you so much!
I must say this is not the easy recipe of make cheddar biscuits.
Working on a batch now.. requires more than 1 cup of heavy cream, otherwise it doesn’t hold together. Will let ya know how the end product turns out
Hi, Courtney. I may be a bit dense, so I will ask the Dumb Question. In your ingredients list you say “2 cups 8 ounces..flour”. Since 8 ounces = 1 cup, are you saying I need a total of 3 cups of flour? Same with the heavy cream. You say “1 cup 8 ounces”, so do I need a total of 2 cups of cream?
Hi Sharon! Thanks for catching that. It’s just 2 cups flour!
Thanks, Courtney… is it also just 1 cup heavy cream?
If not using the pimiento cheese, what do you recommend to use? Just plain mayo or seasoned mayo? Only leaving off the pimiento cheese because we have a couple of other dishes with cheese.
There is not fat in this recipe. Is that the correct recipe? I have never made biscuits without shortening or butter. thank you
Is the correct recipe? I have never made biscuits without shortening or butter. thank you
Yes, the fat in the heavy cream is the substitute!
The biscuits taste like straight hard flour. Any tips to make them more fluffy and less flour tasting?
Could you use frozen store bought biscuits instead of making your own?
