These warm cheddar and herb biscuits are flaky, buttery, and loaded with sharp cheddar and fresh herbs. Perfect straight from the oven, they make an excellent side for soups, stews, or holiday meals, delivering a deliciously cheesy and herbaceous flavor in every bite.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8–10 biscuits

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Optional Topping

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step helps create the flaky texture.
  4. Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese along with the chopped fresh parsley and chives, combining evenly throughout the flour mixture.
  5. Add Buttermilk and Form Dough: Pour in the buttermilk and gently mix just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Scoop or drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Add Optional Topping: If desired, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter mixed with garlic powder to add extra flavor and a glossy finish.
  9. Serve Warm: Serve the biscuits warm as a delicious side to soups, stews, or holiday meals.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold for the flakiest biscuits.
  • Don’t overmix the dough to maintain tender biscuits.
  • Swap herbs based on what you have; thyme or rosemary work well as alternatives.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the oven or microwave.
