Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
Topping
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 220°C (425°F) to ensure it’s properly warmed for baking the biscuits.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
- Add Cheese and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Then pour in the milk and melted butter, gently mixing everything until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep biscuits fluffy.
- Form Biscuits: Using spoons, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Prepare Topping: While baking, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley to create the garlic butter topping.
- Brush Biscuits: As soon as biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush the garlic butter mixture over them to infuse extra flavor.
- Serve: Serve the biscuits warm for the best texture and taste, enjoying them immediately as a savory side dish.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain light, fluffy biscuits.
- Serve the biscuits warm, as this preserves the optimal texture and flavor.
- You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and tender crumb.
- For sharper cheese flavor, use extra sharp cheddar.
- Fresh parsley in the topping adds vibrant color and freshness, but dried can be used in a pinch.
