Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese. Make a well in the center, pour in the buttermilk, and stir just until the dough comes together.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness, cut into rounds, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Brush with melted butter.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix chopped fresh chives into the dough.
- These biscuits freeze well—reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
- Keeping ingredients cold is key to light, flaky biscuits.
