Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Form Dough: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.
- If you don’t have fresh parsley for garnish, you can substitute with other fresh herbs like chives or thyme.
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- If you prefer buttermilk, use it instead of regular milk for added tenderness.
