Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cut into ½- inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup whole milk
For the Garlic Butter
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced in half
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and kosher salt. Stir together.
  3. Slice butter and add to the flour mixture. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix butter into flour into pea-sized pieces.
  4. Shred the cheese in the large side of a box grater.
  5. Add cheese to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Next, add the milk and use a dough whisk or wooden spoon to mix until combined.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or butter lightly.
  8. Use a large spoon or 1/4 cup measure to scoop biscuits, dropping them onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake biscuits for 15- 17 minutes or until fluffy and lightly browned on the tops.
  10. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter by melting butter in a skillet over low heat. Slice the garlic cloves and add to melted butter. Cook for 3- 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
  11. Remove biscuits from oven and brush with garlic butter.
  12. Serve immediately.
