Cheddar Biscuits

Cheddar Biscuits

Cheddar Biscuits are garlicky and cheesy and they pair perfectly with your favorite bowl of soup or hearty main dish.
Servings: 10 biscuits
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Cooling Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes or grated
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Brush on before baking:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, sprinkle on each biscuit before baking

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder until combined. Add the butter and shredded cheese and toss to coat. Add the buttermilk to the mixture and gently stir with a spoon just until combined.
  • Form the dough into 10 discs and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each one slightly to about 1 inch thick.
    Shape the biscuit dough into discs.
  • Combine the milk and the parsley in a small bowl and brush each biscuit with the mixture. Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder over each biscuit. Bake them for 18-20 minutes, just until slightly golden and firm.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve the biscuits while warm. Recipe makes 10 servings.

Equipment

  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 large sheet pan, lined with parchment paper
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 sharp knife

Notes

Pro Tips:
  • I recommend using a block of SHARP cheddar and shredding it yourself. That way you can avoid the anti-caking agents that get mixed into the bags of pre-shredded cheese.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk on hand for this recipe, it’s easy enough to make your own. Pour 3/4 cup of milk into a small glass container. Add one tablespoon of white vinegar (or fresh lemon juice). Stir to combine and allow to sit for at least 5-10 minutes. Use this mixture in place of the buttermilk in the recipe.
