Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the milk into the bowl and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8 equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
