Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Wet & Dairy Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Cut in Butter: Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which creates flaky layers in the biscuits.
  4. Add Cheese & Buttermilk: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Then add the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Form Biscuits: Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping the dough into 10–12 individual biscuits.
  6. Bake: Bake the biscuits for 12–15 minutes until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: While biscuits bake, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl to create a flavorful topping.
  8. Brush Biscuits: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush them with the garlic butter mixture for an extra layer of flavor and moisture.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the cheddar bay biscuits warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with 3/4 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to regain a crisp texture.
