Description
Delicious cheddar garlic biscuits that are golden brown and fluffy, perfect as a side for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt (see notes)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup cold buttermilk (see notes for substitution options)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled for 5 minutes)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dry parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir in the cheddar cheese and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and butter until small lumps form.
- Add the buttermilk to the large bowl with the flour and mix until a dough has formed and the ingredients are no longer dry. Do not overmix.
- Lightly grease a ¼ cup and scoop out the dough with it. Place on a light colored, lightly greased baking sheet, leaving slightly more than an inch between each. You should have 10 total.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, until they are golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the tops of the biscuits when they come out of the oven and serve!
Notes
- For the buttermilk, you can use a substitute by mixing 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
