Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a little heat
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
For the Topping:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Pour in the melted butter and buttermilk, and stir just until combined.
- Take care not to mix too much, as this can lead to tough biscuits.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Form the Biscuits:
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- The dough will be slightly sticky, so don’t worry about forming perfect shapes.
Bake the Biscuits:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
- While the biscuits are baking, mix together the melted butter, chopped parsley, and garlic powder for the topping.
Brush and Serve:
- As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm.
