The Prospector's Homemade Cheddar Biscuit Recipe From Disney

I finally had the chance to try the Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land in January. The food was really good and I loved the decor. My favorite part was the biscuits. They are absolutely delicious! Disney recently shared the recipe for these biscuits to celebrate the one year anniversary of the restaurant. I can't wait to make them!

Cheddar Biscuits

1 cup unsalted butter, frozen

1 1/2 cups bread flour

1 1/2 cups cake flour

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon coarse salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/3 cups buttermilk 

2 cups shredded yellow cheddar cheese 

1/2 cup clarified butter, warmed

Sea salt, to taste 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment and set aside. 

Grate frozen butter using a food processor with shredding disk or cheese grater. Set aside. Whisk bread flour, cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in large mixing bowl. Add frozen shredded butter and whisk until butter is evenly distributed. Add buttermilk and shredded cheese and stir with spoon until soft dough forms. 

Transfer dough to a floured surface and roll into 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold dough into thirds and roll to flatten slightly. Repeat 3 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch squares. Place on prepared baking pan. 

Bake for 14-15 minutes, until tops are golden and the bottom of the biscuits begin to brown. 

Remove from oven and brush with warm clarified butter and sprinkle desired amount of sea salt on top.
