Blue Cheese Biscuits
I may be a little biased but my Mom makes the best southern buttermilk biscuits in the world! She taught me her recipe years ago, and I changed things up just a little bit to create this savory, blue cheese version of her biscuits. Her biscuits are always cooked in an oven but since I prefer cooking outdoors, I decided to use one of my pellet grills for this recipe. Any grill or smoker set up for indirect cooking will work for this cook just hold the temp steady at 425⁰ for baking.
If you’ve never tried biscuits on the grill, you need to give this recipe a try. They go great with just about anything and the blue cheese gives them an extra zing of flavor. I serve them with my Nashville Hot Chicken you can find that recipe here>>

can make this on the webber grill with a vortex? I’m gonna have a hard time getting my smoker up to that temp

I wouldn’t use the vortex – you will burn the biscuits on bottom before you get them done. You can always throw them in the oven.
what size cast iron skillet?
