Description
A simple recipe for making savory, cheesy biscuits similar to the popular restaurant version.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup melted butter, for brushing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
- While the biscuits bake, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and parsley in a small bowl.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- For best results, use cold butter and cold buttermilk.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for some of the cheddar if you prefer a milder flavor.
