Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
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 garlic powder.
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.
Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture to evenly distribute.
Gradually stir in the milk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by combining the melted butter with the minced garlic. Optionally, stir in the chopped parsley.
Once the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops while they are still warm.
Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy!
