Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, minced for garnish)
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, salt, and garlic powder.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour the milk into the mixture and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls 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 biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with minced parsley for added flavor and garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your freshly baked cheesy drop biscuits!
