Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the bowl and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8 equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
