Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 TB granulated sugar
- 1 TB baking powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp table salt
- 1 cup buttermilk lukewarm
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
For the Butter Topping
- 3 TB butter melted
- 1 TB freshly chopped chives
- ½ tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and butter. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold flour mixture with the butter mixture just until no flour streaks remain; small lumps are fine. Gently fold in the cheese.
- Form dough into 12 evenly sized mounds and place them 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-16 minutes or just until golden brown. While biscuits are baking, make the butter topping by combining butter, chives, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Once biscuits are done baking, gently brush the tops with butter mixture and serve immediately.

- For the best flavor, grate your own block of high-quality cheddar cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often has added anti-caking agents that can affect the texture and flavor of your biscuits.
- I use an ice cream scooper to evenly form drop biscuits, which also helps them all bake evenly.
- For a smoother look to your biscuits, dampen hands with a bit of water and gently roll the biscuits into balls.
- You can also roll the dough out to a 1 ¼” thick rectangular sheet and use a 2 1/2 “ biscuit cutter to create perfectly circular biscuits.
