Ingredients
Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon whole milk cold
- 7 tablespoons salted butter melted and cooled slightly
Topping
- 1/4 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add the cheese and toss to combine.
- In a liquid measuring cup add the milk then add the melted butter while whisking.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until just combined.
- Divide into 6-9 pieces and drop onto the cookie sheet in as much of a round drop as possible.
- Bake for about 13-16 minutes until the top is starting to brown.
- While the biscuits bake, make the topping by whisking the butter, salt, and parsley together.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush the topping on the hot biscuits.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Store: Cooled leftover biscuits are best served warm, but will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for a couple of days.
Tips:
- If you use unsalted butter add 1/4 extra teaspoon salt to the biscuits and you may need a bit more salt in the filling.
- Make sure to measure the flour the right way by spooning and leveling. If you don’t you will have too much flour and your biscuits will be dry.
- Freshly shredded cheese works better in this recipe than store bought pre-shredded cheese.
- The topping is optional. If you want to skip it you can.
