Today, I wanted to share with you a recipe sure to be a favorite in Southern Hearts (if it isn’t already)… pimento cheese biscuits. If you’re anything like us, come spring and summer you’re ready for light flavors, pastel colors, and all of the other wonderful fresh flavors of the season. Today’s recipe would make a perfect addition to your holiday brunch, with a delicious old Southern twist!
Now, anyone who has been with me a while knows that I’m a HUGE fan of pimento cheese. There are several recipes involving this cheese on Southern Plate as it just makes my taste buds happy. My preferred brand is Price’s, as it’s made with real mayonnaise and real cheese. You can even see big chunks of cheese in it. It looks just like my homemade pimento cheese and tastes like my Grandmama made it.
So now we are going to gild the lily by making biscuits with Southern-style pimento cheese baked right into the dough for a distinctly Southern flavor that pairs perfectly with Easter ham. You only need 4 ingredients to make pimento cheese biscuits: baking mix, milk, pimento cheese, and garlic powder. That’s it! These Southern biscuits are so fluffy, tender, flavorful, and easy to make. Ready to give this pimento cheese biscuit recipe a go?
Recipe Ingredients
- Baking mix (I am using my homemade baking mix, but you can just use Bisquick if you like).
- Milk
- Garlic powder
- Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese
How to Make Pimento Cheese Biscuits
Place all ingredients into a medium bowl.
Using a spoon, stir together really well until fully blended.
Dump the biscuit dough out onto a floured surface and sprinkle with more flour.
Knead this a few times by pressing into a ball and then flattening slightly and repeating.
Pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness with your hands and then cut with a biscuit cutter.
See those little pimentos peeking out of the dough? This biscuit dough makes my heart smile.
Grease a baking dish with and place the biscuits inside, with the sides touching. Bake at 400 for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool a bit before removing them from the pan.

Storage
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. You can reheat them in the microwave or air fryer.
- You can also freeze baked drop biscuits for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating as above.
Recipe Notes
- You can find Price’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese at Publix right now and more grocery stores soon! It’s the only pimento cheese I’ve found in stores that tastes like homemade because it is made like homemade.
- However, check out this recipe if you want to make homemade pimento cheese to add to this biscuit recipe. You’ll need sharp cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and diced pimentos.
- For the best biscuits, use a straight up and down movement when cutting the dough with a biscuit cutter. No twists and turns are required!
- To add a little heat, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika. You can also add a couple of teaspoons of hot sauce.

Hi Christy – I would love to try this recipe, but since I live in Maine, I doubt that I can find Price’s Pimento Cheese in my area. Any suggestions for a substitution? By the way, I have tried many of your recipes and they are wonderful!
Homemade Pimento Cheese is easy and so good! I’m in Mississippi and Price’s isn’t sold in my area. I will make my own and use it. Can’t wait!
Thank you Ingrid! Here is my favorite homemade recipe. Leave out the hot sauce if you prefer it not to have a bit of a zing to it 😉 https://www.southernplate.com/2013/03/sharp-spicy-pimento-cheese.html
I love the Price’s pimento cheese,found it at Walmart.Thanks for the recipe.Think I wil make it.
Christy, these look fabulous. Can’t wait to try them. I am curious…when I click on your main page of your website, the most current blog post is the 2/17 recipe for kale salad. I know you have posted since as I get the posts in my email, but why do they not show up on the home page since the 2/17 date? Thanks.
Hey Teresa! Thank you so very much for letting me know. We are having an issue with the site caching and hoping, desperately, to find a solution today. I have no idea how to fix it but I appreciate you letting me know that you are having the problem, too! If you read this, can you update me as to whether or not it is still happening for you?
Hi Christy,
I just checked today for you and it looks like it is fixed. I see the cheesecake fluff now, as well as meal plan monday, pimento biscuits, etc. So maybe you are all set now? Thanks for helping us with that!
Just an FYI–I have this same problem. I read about the enchanted water bowl and then there was nothing new that showed up until yesterday, March 10! I am loving the catching up though and can’t wait to try the biscuits for Easter dinner. ☺
OH goodness, I’m so excited it is working for you now! Thank you so much for letting me know. Hopefully all problems are solved. I really appreciate you going back and checking out the posts that were missed, too!
If you live in the South, is there any other kind?
The REAL question is: Is it made with real Duke’s mayo!!! 😉
CHRISTY, we have Cheese Whiz here in Canada, a cheese spread, and then we got Tex Mex cheese whiz which has morphed into Jalapeno cheese whiz, but that is just a FYI aside.
What I really want to say, is I make cheese biscuits all the time, with preshredded cheese, and I use whatever I have old cheddar, tex mex for nachos or Italian style, even have used parmesan shreds. So am going to chop pimentos and add, and bake some biscuits this weekend.
Sounds delicious! Gonna have to try this one ASAP!
Hello Christy – did you get the email that I sent you about the Pyrex even in Nashville TN April 9th?
I buy Price’s Pimento Cheese at our Publix too and it is the closest to real thing (homemade)! I do like to add a bit more shredded cheese to mine since I don’t like mine real mayonnaisy (is that a real word?). Can’t wait to try this recipe ~ thanks for sharing.
Where do you buy this. Pimento cheese
