Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 cup Gloucester bay cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons optional garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
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, if using, garlic powder.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded Gloucester bay cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle or round shape.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any scraps to make additional biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra flavor and shine.
Serve warm and enjoy!
