Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
• 1 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the low-sodium cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the buttermilk, gently stirring with a fork or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring it together.

Step 7

Pat or roll the dough out to about 3/4-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade low sodium cheesy biscuits!
