Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour*
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 6 tablespoons (85 grams) cold unsalted butter, (cubed)
• 1 1/4 cups (6 ounces / 170 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, (shredded)
• 3/4 cup (178 ml) buttermilk, (very cold**)
• 3 tablespoons (43 grams) unsalted butter, (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Drop the dough by scant 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes.

4. 4

   While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.
