🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for brushing, optional)

📝 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, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.

5. Pour the cold buttermilk into the bowl and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix—it’s okay if the dough looks a little shaggy.

6. Using a large spoon or a cookie scoop, drop 8 equal portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

7. If desired, brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with milk for added browning.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

9. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
