Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, 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 flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour in the milk and gently fold the mixture until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a disk about 1 inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit. Gather the dough scraps, reshape, and cut additional biscuits if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the chopped parsley if desired.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the melted butter mixture.
Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy!
