These Cheddar Bay Biscuits are buttery, cheesy, and infused with a gentle hint of garlic, inspired by a beloved restaurant-style classic. They bake up golden and tender, perfect for pairing warm with soups, seafood, or enjoying on their own as a savory treat.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 biscuits

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your biscuits don’t stick and bake evenly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to evenly distribute the leavening and flavor.
  3. Cut in butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which helps create a flaky texture.
  4. Add cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese evenly through the crumbly mixture to add cheesy flavor in every bite.
  5. Combine with milk: Pour in the milk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Form biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare topping: While the biscuits bake, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a small bowl to create the flavorful topping.
  9. Brush topping: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush the garlic-parsley butter over their tops to enhance the flavor and add moisture.
  10. Serve warm: Serve the biscuits immediately while warm for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
  • Serve the biscuits immediately after baking and topping for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cold butter is essential for flaky biscuit texture, so do not substitute melted butter.
  • These biscuits are perfect to accompany soups, seafood dishes, or salads.
