Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup whole milk or buttermilk, very cold
For the garlic butter topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, then add the milk and gently mix until a soft dough forms.
- Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, mix the melted butter, parsley flakes, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Once the biscuits are done, brush the garlic butter mixture over the tops while they're still warm.
