Categories: Bread
Ingredients
- 23/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 6 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
Line a quarter sheet baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.
-
Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
-
Use a pastry cutter to cut the VERY COLD butter in. You want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
-
Stir in the buttermilk and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky.
-
Stir in the shredded cheese and use your hands to fully incorporate into the dough.
-
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough out onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Pat down gently to flatten slightly.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder and melted butter.
-
Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine.
-
Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter mixture on top of each biscuit.
-
Serve immediately.
