Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, sugar, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk and low-sodium chicken broth together.
Pour the milk and broth mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps to make additional biscuits, but try to do it no more than once.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy!
