Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) All-Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick, 113g) Unsalted Butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup (180ml) Milk
  • ½ cup (50g) Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup (25g) Garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick, 57g) Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • ¼ teaspoon Dried Parsley, chopped fresh or freeze-dried parsley

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Then, gently pour in the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
  7. While the biscuits are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley.
  8. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush generously with the garlic butter topping.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy! Dipping in soup can be recommended.
  10. Add a single ice cube while baking the biscuit. The steam will create a richer texture.
