Disney Eats: Cheddar Biscuit Recipe from Roundup Rodeo BBQ

Happy anniversary to Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Tomorrow, March 23, marks one year since the opening and to celebrate, we’re sharing an exclusive, fan-favorite recipe with you – The Prospector’s Homemade Cheddar Biscuits with Sweet Pepper Jelly.

At Roundup Rodeo BBQ, you step into Andy’s backyard and the world of his toys as you feast on barbecue-inspired comfort foods. Be sure to bring your appetite for house-smoked meats, delicious sides, decadent desserts, and of course, The Prospector’s Homemade Cheddar Biscuits with Sweet Pepper Jelly.

These biscuits are flaky, flavorful, and have just the right amount of cheese. The Sweet Pepper Jelly adds the perfect amount of sweetness with a tiny bit of spice. Once you try them, it’s easy to see why more than 1 million biscuits were devoured by guests in the last year!

Now that I’ve talked up this delicious dish, it’s time to share the recipe. Don’t skip folding the dough into thirds. This will give you the beautiful, flaky layers.
