Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley optional
- 1/2 cup butter cold
- 1 cup cheese
- 2/3 cup milk
Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Melt the butter for the topping in a small bowl in the microwave. Once the butter has melted combine it with the garlic powder and parsley completely, then set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder salt and parsley. I add dried parsley for color, you can omit it if desired. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse crumbs.
- Once the butter is cut in, pour the milk in, add the cheese and combine.
- Roll the dough out until it's about 1/2 inch thick, then use either a biscuit cutter, or a glass to cut out the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Using your pastry brush, brush copious amounts of the butter sauce on the top of the biscuits and place the pan into the oven.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until they have risen, the bottoms are nicely browned, and the tops have browned as well.
- Remove and let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then serve warm.
