Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Additional Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Combine butter and cheese: Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Add buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix until just combined — do not overmix.
- Shape and bake: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle, cut into rounds or squares, place on the baking sheet, and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Final touch: Brush with melted butter and serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize these biscuits by adding chopped fresh herbs, jalapeños, or experimenting with different cheeses.
- For a crispier texture, ensure the biscuits are placed slightly apart on the baking sheet.
