Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
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, salt, and garlic powder.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and toss until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring with a spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Optional: For extra flavor, brush the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley immediately after removing them from the oven.
Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm!
