Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
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, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a coarse, crumbly texture.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by mixing the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy!
