Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed, plus more for brushing
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) room temperature buttermilk (or ¾ cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 cup (100 grams) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and garlic powder.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley until evenly distributed.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the room temperature buttermilk. Gently fold the dough together with a spatula or your hands until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but not wet.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it gently into a ¾-inch (2 cm) thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times to create layers, then pat it down again.
  7. Use a 2.5-inch (6 cm) biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour to cut out rounds. Press straight down without twisting to keep edges sharp.
  8. Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden and cooked through.
  9. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy, rich finish.
  10. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky biscuits. Do not overmix the dough to avoid toughness. Fold the dough 2-3 times to create flaky layers. Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting. Brush melted butter on top immediately after baking for shine and moisture. Dough can be chilled for 10 minutes before cutting if biscuits spread too much. Dough and shaped biscuits can be frozen and baked from frozen with extra baking time.
