Garlic Cheese Drop Biscuits
Description
The biscuits start by combining dry ingredients—including flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and garlic powder—with melted butter whisked into buttermilk. Shredded sharp cheddar cheese is gently folded into the batter, which is dropped in spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Baking at 450°F for 10-12 minutes results in golden-brown biscuits with light, tender interiors and a slight crisp on the outside.
After baking, the biscuits receive a generous brushing of a garlic and parsley butter mixture, enhancing their aroma and flavor. The garlic powder in both the dough and topping contributes a consistent buttery garlic taste rather than raw garlic sharpness. These biscuits suit serving warm alongside soups, stews, or breakfast dishes.
They store well at room temperature in an airtight container for two days, but are best enjoyed fresh and warm to appreciate the soft crumb and melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½-1 cup cheddar cheese use a thick shred, not finely shredded, sharp, shredded
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons butter or unsalted, just add a dash of salt, salted
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon parsley dried
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F (230C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Melt your butter and set it aside so it can begin to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl (or in a large measuring cup) whisk slightly cooled butter into buttermilk (it’s OK if the butter begins to re-solidify or the mixture looks curdled).
- Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just-combined.
- Use a spoon or spatula to gently stir cheese into batter until incorporated.
- Using a pair of spoons, drop batter by heaping spoonfuls (about 3 Tbsp in size) onto prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.
- Transfer to 450F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping by whisking together butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
- When biscuits are finished baking, brush generously with butter mixture (use a pastry brush, or if you don’t have one simply spoon some of the butter on top of each biscuit).
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Serve the biscuits warm to best enjoy their soft texture and garlic flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
