These fluffy, savory zucchini cheddar biscuits are made with just six simple ingredients and deliver a moist, tender crumb with a golden crust. Perfect for quick breakfasts or brunches, they combine sharp cheddar and fresh zucchini for a comforting, flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (about 110g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup), grated and gently squeezed dry

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  5. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and squeezed zucchini gently with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overwork the dough.
  6. If the dough feels too dry, add 1/4 cup (60ml) cold buttermilk or milk and stir gently.
  7. Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together without over-kneading.
  8. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a floured biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches diameter) to cut out rounds. Gather scraps and repeat.
  9. Place biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally brush tops lightly with milk or melted butter for extra golden color.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  11. Transfer biscuits to a cooling rack and cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky layers. Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Squeeze zucchini well to remove excess moisture to prevent soggy biscuits. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to keep edges fluffy. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
