Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, 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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly to keep the butter cold.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bowl and gently toss to distribute it evenly throughout the flour mixture.
Pour in the cold milk and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it together into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits (about 2.5 inches in diameter). Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
