Prep Time5 minutes

Cook Time12 minutes

Total Time17 minutes

Servings12




Ingredients

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

4 teaspoons baking powder

¾ cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces, cold

1 cup buttermilk

6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated


Topping

¼ cup unsalted butter melted

½ teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a quarter sheet baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.


Cut the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.


Combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

Use a pastry cutter to cut the VERY COLD butter in. You want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.


Stir in the buttermilk and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky.


Add in the shredded cheese and use your hands to fully incorporate into the dough.


Scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat down gently to flatten slightly.


Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.


Prepare Topping


In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder and melted butter. Add the chopped parsley and stir to combine.


Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter mixture on top of each biscuit. Serve immediately.
