Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits
Description
This recipe for Homemade Cheesy Garlic Biscuits creates tender, savory biscuits with a rich cheddar and garlic character. The dough is prepared by mixing dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cold, cubed butter is cut into the mixture until pea-sized crumbs form, creating flakiness. Shredded sharp cheddar is folded in for cheesy depth.
Cold buttermilk is added last, minimizing gluten development for a tender crumb. The dough is dropped by scant 1/4-cup portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked at 425°F until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes. Post-baking, a melted butter mix with garlic powder and dried parsley is brushed on warm biscuits, enhancing flavor and moisture.
These biscuits have a golden, lightly crisp exterior and a soft, cheesy interior with a subtle garlic note. They complement hearty dishes like soups, stews, or breakfast plates and can also be enjoyed on their own. Baking on parchment paper ensures easy cleanup and even browning.
Ingredients
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 254 grams
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed, 85 grams, cold
- 1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, 6 ounces / 170 grams
- 3/4 cup buttermilk very cold, 178 ml
For the butter:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter forms pea-sized crumbs. Mix in the cheese. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Drop the dough by scant 1/4-cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 16 to 17 minutes.
- While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.
