🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

5. Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the biscuits dense.

6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle, being careful not to compress it too much.

7. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, reshaping the leftover dough as needed. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are cooked through.

9. Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
