My Cooking Experience 👩🍳
With over 4-5 years of baking experience, I’ve learned that the secret to making Garlic Cheddar Biscuits fluffy and flavorful is using cold butter and freshly grated cheddar. The garlic butter topping takes them to the next level!
Ingredients 🛒
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ¾ cup buttermilk
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions 🍽️
1. Prepare the Dough 🥣
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add Cheese and Buttermilk 🧀
Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually pour in buttermilk, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Shape and Bake 🔥
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Brush with Garlic Butter 🧄
While the biscuits are baking, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush over warm biscuits immediately after baking. Serve hot!
