Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional for garnish)
  • 1 large egg

 

 

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

 

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (220°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  5. Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
  6. Scoop the Biscuits: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each biscuit.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  8. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping: While the biscuits are baking, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
  9. Brush with Topping: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter topping.
  10. Serve: Enjoy the biscuits warm. They pair perfectly with soups, salads, or as a standalone snack.
