8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 c all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 c sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
- 3/4 c milk
- 1 egg
- 1/3 c butter softened
Topping (optional):
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easy.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, shredded cheddar cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and chopped parsley. Give everything a good stir so it’s evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and softened butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Gently mix everything together until you have a sticky dough—be careful not to overmix, as that can make the biscuits tough. If the dough feels too dry, add a little splash of milk.
- Scoop the dough into 8-10 mounds and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one.
- Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits start to turn golden brown. While they bake, mix the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder for the topping.
- When the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them with the buttery topping and pop them back in for another 5 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
- Let them cool for a moment and enjoy!
Notes
Making these biscuits gluten-free is totally doable! Just swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free baking mix that works as a 1:1 substitute. Double-check that your baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free too. The texture might be a touch different, but you’ll still get that cheesy, garlicky goodness. Trust me, they’ll be a hit with everyone, even those who don’t need to eat gluten-free!
