Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (fresh preferred)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley flakes (for topping)
  • Pinch of salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter to dry ingredients. Cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Fold in shredded sharp cheddar cheese gently.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir just until dough comes together; avoid overmixing.
  6. Drop dough mounds (about 1/4 cup each) onto prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top and set.
  8. While baking, melt butter for topping and stir in garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Brush garlic butter mixture generously over hot biscuits immediately after baking.
  10. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to create flaky layers. Avoid overmixing dough to keep biscuits tender. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Brush garlic butter topping immediately after baking to lock in moisture and flavor. Freshly grated cheddar melts better than pre-shredded. Dough can be frozen before baking; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
