Garlic Drop Biscuits
Description
This biscuit recipe mixes leavening agents with aromatic powders, lending gentle garlic and onion notes. The inclusion of cold butter cut into pea-sized pieces ensures a tender crumb by creating pockets of fat that melt during baking. Parmesan cheese adds a savory sharpness, while fresh chives contribute mild oniony freshness.
The dough is wetter than typical biscuit dough, allowing it to be dropped by spoonfuls rather than rolled and cut, simplifying preparation. Baked at 400°F, the biscuits develop a lightly golden exterior and a soft interior, suitable as a side for meals.
The recipe yields about 12 biscuits, and baking until lightly browned ensures doneness without overbaking, retaining a moist texture inside.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅓ cup butter cold
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped fresh
- 1 to 1 ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease it well).
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, onion & garlic powder in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Add cold butter and cut in with a fork until the mixture is the size of peas or slightly smaller. Add parmesan cheese and chives and stir.
- Add milk a bit at a time stirring after each addition until you make a dough that is sticky and can be dropped with a spoon. The dough should be a bit softer than cookie dough.
- Drop dough by heaping tablespoons to create 12 biscuits.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or lightly browned.
