Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk and low-sodium chicken broth together.

Step 6

Pour the milk and broth mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth.

Step 8

Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll scraps to make additional biscuits, but try to do it no more than once.

Step 9

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
