    Cheddar Pomegranate Biscuits, the perfect blend of savory, sharp cheddar and bursts of sweet pomegranate.

    Baking sheet of savory pomegranate biscuits.

    These biscuits are so versatile and in our house, they are a new holiday tradition.

    Combine the dry ingredients, then incorporate the buttermilk, cheddar and pomegranate seeds.

    These cheddar pomegranate biscuits are extremely soft, so a good floured surface is necessary.

    Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and press into a 1 ½ inch thick disc.

    Use a medium biscuit cutter to cut biscuits, laying them on a baking sheet as you go.

    Reform the stray dough pieces into a smaller dough disk and repeat the process until all the dough has been formed.

    Brush each biscuit with melted butter. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter again after pulling them out.
