Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon chives
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, and two teaspoons of garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Fold in the cheddar cheese and chives and knead for a few more seconds.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This recipe makes 11-12 biscuits. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • While the biscuits bake, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the salted melted butter, parsley, and one teaspoon of garlic powder. If you only have unsalted butter, make sure to add a generous pinch of salt. It should be a little bit salty and garlicky.
  • When the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them with the garlic butter mixture and allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, I recommend grating the cheddar cheese manually rather than using pre-shredded cheese that is packaged in a bag.
  • I highly recommend using salted melted butter to top the warm biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven. If you don't have salted butter, add a generous pinch of salt to the melted butter.
