Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- teaspoon garlic powder
- cup milk
- cup butter, softened and cut into pieces
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, shredded Cheddar cheese, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, softened butter pieces, and the egg. Once well mixed, pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
Step 4: Stir the mixture lightly until just combined. The dough should be chunky, so be careful not to overmix. The more you stir, the denser the biscuits may become!
Step 5: Using a spoon, drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out evenly to allow for expansion as they bake.
Step 6: Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. The biscuits should start to puff up and turn lightly golden.
Step 7: While the biscuits bake, prepare the butter topping. In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder and parsley (if using). This will give your biscuits that perfect finish!
Step 8: After 10 minutes, remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the melted butter mixture generously over the top of each biscuit.
Step 9: Return the biscuits to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 10: Once the biscuits are perfectly golden and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Serve them warm for the best experience!
