Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, chives, or basil)
-
3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
-
1 egg (for egg wash – optional, for a golden top)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
-
Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add cheese and herbs: Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped herbs until evenly distributed.
-
Add milk: Pour in the milk (or buttermilk) and mix gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
-
Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Optional – Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops for a golden finish.
-
Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
-
Cool slightly: Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy warm!
