Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 6 tbsp Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Whisk together until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the milk into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky and shaggy.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. This should make approximately 10 biscuits.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by stirring 3 tbsp of melted butter with 0.5 tsp of garlic powder and chopped parsley (if using).

Step 9

Once the biscuits are out of the oven, immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy your Garlic Cheese Drop Biscuits!
