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 reaches the right temperature for perfectly baked golden biscuits.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined to distribute the leavening agent and spices evenly.
- Add Cheese and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and melted butter into the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: While biscuits are baking, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a small bowl to create the flavorful topping.
- Brush Biscuits: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over them to coat while still warm.
- Serve: Serve the biscuits immediately to enjoy their warm, buttery, and cheesy goodness at its best.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Serving the biscuits warm enhances their texture and flavor.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced cheesy flavor.
- Chilling the dough briefly is optional but not necessary for this recipe.
- For a crispier crust, bake on a preheated baking sheet.
