Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour 240 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 113 grams (room temperature and cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 cup mild or medium cheddar cheese 113 grams (shredded)
  • 1 cup buttermilk 236.59 ml (read above on how to make buttermilk)

Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 42.4 grams (melted)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
    2 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture. It will be crumbly.
    1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • Add in the cheese and buttermilk. Stir together until just combined. Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop or a large spoon, scoop out the biscuits and place them approximately 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
    1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup mild or medium cheddar cheese
  • While the biscuits are baking whisk together the ingredients for the butter topping. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them with the butter topping. Serve warm.
