Ingredients

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

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 flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the milk to the bowl and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be sticky.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 8 evenly-sized mounds.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, melt the 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the parsley flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 9

When the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then serve warm. Enjoy!
