Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently with a spoon until just combined. The dough should be a little sticky, but not wet.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the dough scraps to cut out additional biscuits.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flakiness, ensure your butter is very cold when cutting it into the flour mixture.
- Experiment with different cheeses like gouda, mozzarella, or parmesan for varied flavors.
- Add fresh herbs such as rosemary or parsley to elevate the taste.
