Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and parsley until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk while gently stirring with a wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing as this can make the biscuits tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle or circle.
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are slightly touching for better rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm.
Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of salt or extra herbs for added flavor.
