Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour in the milk and gently stir with a spatula or spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times to bring it together.
Pat the dough out to about 1 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out round biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
