Ingredients

  • 16 oz. package Bisquick gluten free if needed
  • 1 ¼ cup whole milk buttermilk, or a full-fat plant-based alternative
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder divided
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • ½ cup butter salted, divided
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • ½ tsp. Italian seasonings or dried basil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the Batter: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add Bisquick, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk until combined. Pour in the milk, whisked eggs, and melted butter that has cooled to room temperature. Mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms. Add cheese and stir until mixture is just combined, but dough is not overmixed.
  2. Scoop and Bake: Place ¼-cup of batter for each biscuit onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You should end up with 12 biscuits. Bake for 14-16 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
  3. Make Butter Topping: While biscuits are baking, melt the remaining 4 Tbsp. of butter in a small bowl in the microwave and then whisk in ½ tsp. garlic powder and the Italian seasoning.
  4. Top with Butter and Serve: Brush garlic butter over biscuits using a pastry brush as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve biscuits immediately with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • Prep-Ahead Instructions:
  • You can make these cheesy biscuits a day early, just warm them up in the oven before serving. 
  • Storage Directions:
  • Fortunately, leftover biscuits keep really well for a few days if you store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, put them in the toaster oven or regular oven so they get nice and crispy on the outside.  However, placing them in the microwave heats them up quite a bit faster. 
  • Recipe Tips:
  • Buy a bag. Bisquick and store-brand varieties are affordable and readily available.
  • Just enough. Don't overwork the batter or the homemade cheddar biscuits will be dense.
  • Powder, please. While I almost always recommend fresh garlic, the powdered version works best in this recipe.
  • Let it cool. Be sure to let the melted butter come to room temperature before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't skimp. Scoop big servings of the dough before baking for the best results.
