Ingredients
For the biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk, very cold
For the butter:
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter forms pea-sized crumbs. Mix in the cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
-
Drop the dough by scant 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes.
-
While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.
