Ingredients
For the Biscuits
For the Garlic Butter Topping
Instructions
Prepare
Preheat your oven to 425-450°F (220-230°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and baking soda.
Cut in the Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized lumps of butter remaining.
Add Cheese and Milk
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Pour in the cold buttermilk or milk and stir with a spatula until just combined into a soft, shaggy dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Form the Biscuits
Using a large spoon or a 1/4-cup measure, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Make Garlic Butter
While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, dried parsley, and ⅛ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.
Serve
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, liberally brush the tops with the prepared garlic butter. Serve warm for the best experience.
