Ingredients
Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup salted butter, melted (227g)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk or regular milk
Topping
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried or fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in cheese. Combine melted butter and buttermilk until small lumps form. Stir into dry ingredients. Drop by ¼-cupfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Combine butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush on top of biscuits.
Notes
- Bisquick version: If using Bisquick, simply omit the baking powder and baking soda.
- Cast-iron skillet: These can also be baked in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet instead of on a baking sheet.
- Store: Store the biscuits once they have completely cooled in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 5 days on the counter or in the fridge.
- Freeze: Wait until the biscuits have cooled, then put them in a Ziploc bag or freezer-safe container. They'll keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months, then thaw your frozen biscuits and reheat as desired. Alternatively, you can freeze the biscuit dough before baking it. Flash-freeze the dough balls on a baking tray, then store and put them in the freezer. Thaw and bake fresh!
