Servings: biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/2 lb 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk or use 3/4 cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice
- Optional topping: 2 tablespoons melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic and parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the Butter:
- Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Cheese & Buttermilk:
- Stir in the shredded cheddar, then gently fold in the buttermilk until just combined. Don’t overmix—it's okay if the dough is a little shaggy.
- Scoop & Bake:
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough (or use a large cookie scoop) onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top.
- Brush with Butter (Optional):
- Right out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic and parsley for an extra savory finish.
