  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper until evenly combined.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse, uneven crumbs.
  4. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the crumbly mixture.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the whole milk, stirring gently until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Portion the Dough: Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop the dough, placing each portion onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges and have a soft, tender center.
  8. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the melted butter, chopped fresh parsley, and garlic powder to make a flavorful topping.
  9. Brush Biscuits: Immediately after removing the hot biscuits from the oven, generously brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture to infuse them with rich garlic and herb flavor.
  10. Rest and Serve: Let the biscuits cool for 2-3 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the butter to set slightly for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • For extra cheesy biscuits, add an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar in the dough.
  • If you prefer less spicy biscuits, omit the cayenne pepper.
  • Use cold butter to achieve the perfect flaky texture in the biscuits.
  • Leftover biscuits can be reheated in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Fresh parsley can be substituted with dried parsley, using about 1 teaspoon.
