Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup melted butter for brushing
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and chopped parsley if using.
- Pour in the milk and gently mix until just combined without overworking the dough.
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with paprika if desired.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light. Cold butter is key for that flaky texture. Serve warm for the best experience.
