Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them 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 sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Add the milk to the bowl and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be sticky.
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 8 evenly-sized mounds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the parsley flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
When the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then serve warm. Enjoy!
