Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 4 cups baking mix
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
- 1 1/2 cup water (maybe less, see notes)
For the butter topping
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F
- In a large bowl, add the baking mix (see notes).
- Add the cheddar to the bowl, and enough water to allow a soft dough to form.
- Scoop onto a baking sheet (I used a cookie scoop, you could use a spoon), and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- While the biscuits are baking in the oven, melt butter, add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and dried parsley and mix until well combined.
- Right after removing the biscuits from the oven, brush butter-garlic mixture on the tops.
- Devour.

Notes
- Baking Mix – this can be a store-bought baking mix (such as Bisquick). I use my own homemade biscuit mix recipe.
- Water – between 1 1/3 and 1/2 cups. Mix until a soft ball forms, it will be a little sticky.
- Use a cookie scoop, as these are more of a “drop biscuit”, but you can use a biscuit cutter to make your biscuits rounder and flatter. Turn the biscuit dough out onto a floured surface, about an inch thick, and cut using a biscuit cutter. Turn the dough, but avoid kneading it any more than absolutely necessary.
- They can be eaten at room temperature, but I think they’re best hot and fresh from the oven.
