Ingredients
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) to ensure it’s hot enough for perfect biscuit rising and browning.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, mixing them together evenly to create the biscuit base.
- Add Cheese and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, then gradually add the milk and melted butter, mixing just until combined to keep the dough light and fluffy without overworking.
- Shape the Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: While the biscuits bake, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley to create the flavorful topping.
- Brush Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the warm biscuits generously with the garlic butter mixture to melt into the surface.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the biscuits warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Serving the biscuits warm enhances their softness and flavor.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger, richer taste.
- You can add a little extra garlic powder to the dough if you prefer a more intense garlic flavor.
- The biscuits freeze well, so you can bake a batch ahead and reheat as needed.
