Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper optional
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Optional.
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted.
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley Chopped.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted, for topping.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder For topping.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt For topping.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Whisk to combine.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter and buttermilk until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly lumpy.
  • Using a spoon or scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  • While the biscuits are baking, prepare the topping by combining melted butter, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

- For a more intense cheddar flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese.
- Fresh parsley can be replaced with dried herbs, if necessary; use about 1 tablespoon.
- These biscuits are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
