Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well blended.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley (if using).
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Gently mix with a fork or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges and set in the center.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and serve warm. Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter for extra richness.
