Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the biscuits release easily.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
  3. Cut in cold butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the texture looks like coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in cheese: Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the flour mixture, making sure it's distributed throughout.
  5. Add buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until a soft, shaggy dough forms; avoid overmixing or the biscuits will turn out dense.
  6. Scoop the dough: Use a large spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake until golden: Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms have set and lightly browned.
  8. Make the garlic butter: While the biscuits bake, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley.
  9. Brush and serve: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the warm garlic butter and serve while still warm.
