Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 1 cup Gloucester bay cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoons optional garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

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, salt, and, if using, garlic powder.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded Gloucester bay cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour in the milk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle or round shape.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll any scraps to make additional biscuits.

Step 8

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Step 9

Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra flavor and shine.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
