Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

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, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder (if using).

Step 3

Using a box grater or a pastry cutter, grate or cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to evenly distribute it through the mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be sticky.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits 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 before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top of the biscuits for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
