Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (115 g) sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) melted unsalted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for garlic butter glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mix. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  4. Fold in shredded sharp white cheddar cheese evenly.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Scoop out dough balls about 2.5 inches (6 cm) in diameter and place them close but not touching on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. While baking, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter and stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Brush the hot garlic butter glaze generously over the warm biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness. Freshly shred cheese for best melt and texture. Brush garlic butter while biscuits are hot for best flavor and shine. Chill dough 10 minutes if too sticky. Can substitute gluten-free flour or dairy-free alternatives as needed.
