At its core, flaky cheddar bay biscuits are a savory variation of traditional American quick bread rolls. Unlike sweet breakfast scones or basic plain drop biscuits, this recipe combines sharp cheddar cheese and aromatic garlic powder directly into the flour mix. What sets this specific version apart from standard drop biscuits is the technique used to handle the dough. By folding the cold dough over itself several times before baking, you build distinct tender layers that rise high and split apart effortlessly when pulled open.
