The Best Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
Description
The Best Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits use a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar, and salt to form a light and tender base. Sharp cheddar cheese is incorporated for a rich, cheesy flavor. The buttermilk and melted salted butter are combined quickly to avoid overworking the dough, preserving the biscuits' soft texture.
Biscuit dough is scooped and dropped onto a baking sheet and baked at a high temperature until the tops are golden brown. Immediately after baking, a butter-based topping with garlic powder and parsley is brushed over the hot biscuits enhancing their aroma and flavor.
These biscuits are great served warm alongside soups, stews, or salads, or as a savory snack. They maintain their texture well and are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored briefly at room temperature.
Tips mention using freshly grated cheese over pre-shredded for better melt and texture. A substitution for buttermilk is also provided using sour cream and milk to achieve similar results.
Ingredients
Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded, sharp, see note
- 1 cup buttermilk see note
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, salted
Topping:
- 3 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- ¼ teaspoon parsley dried, crushed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar and salt. Add the cheese and toss to combine until the cheese is evenly coated with the flour mixture.
- Add the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir just until combined and no dry streaks remain. Don't over mix. The batter might appear a little lumpy; that's ok.
- Using a greased 1/4-cup measure or large #20 cookie scoop, scoop the dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the biscuits are golden.
- While the biscuits bake, whisk together the topping ingredients. Immediately out of the oven, brush the top of the hot biscuits evenly with the butter topping. Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melt and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, substitute with 1/2 cup sour cream plus 1/2 cup milk.
