Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup shredded reduced-sodium Cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup nonfat milk
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and garlic powder.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add them to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded reduced-sodium Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the nonfat milk and plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, creating 12 evenly sized mounds.
In a small bowl, mix together the dried parsley and garlic powder for topping.
Sprinkle the parsley and garlic mixture evenly over the tops of the biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving warm.
