Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, 7 tablespoons of melted butter, and the 3-4 crushed garlic cloves.
Combine and Add Cheese
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the grated cheddar cheese.
Form the Biscuits
Using your hands or a spoon, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet to make 10-12 rustic, slightly flattened biscuits. Ensure there is some space between them as they will expand while baking.
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Topping
While the biscuits are baking, mix the 3 tablespoons of melted butter, chopped celery leaves, and the final crushed garlic clove in a small bowl.
Serve
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter topping. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
