Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (473 ml) all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsps (90 ml) cold butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) buttermilk
- 2 tsps (10 ml) baking powder
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) garlic salt
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) melted butter
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) garlic salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) dried parsley
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating an ideal surface for golden biscuit baking.
- Dry Ingredient Blend: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
- Butter Integration: Incorporate cold butter cubes into the flour mixture using a pastry blender, developing a textured, crumbly consistency reminiscent of rustic breadcrumbs.
- Cheese Incorporation: Gently fold sharp cheddar cheese into the flour-butter mixture, coating cheese fragments with the dry ingredients for optimal flavor dispersion.
- Liquid Binding: Pour cold buttermilk into the bowl, stirring minimally until the dough coheres, maintaining a delicate texture without overworking the mixture.
- Biscuit Formation: Scoop dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with ample spacing to accommodate expansion during baking.
- Baking and Finishing: Bake for 14-16 minutes until edges transform to a golden-brown hue, then immediately brush with a luxurious garlic-herb butter infused with fresh parsley and garlic salt.
- Serving: Present the biscuits warm, allowing their aromatic, cheesy essence to captivate and delight immediate diners.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Use extremely cold butter for the flakiest, most tender biscuit texture; freeze butter for 10-15 minutes before cubing for best results.
- Minimal Mixing Magic: Overmixing causes tough, dense biscuits; stir ingredients just until they barely combine to maintain a light, airy consistency.
- Cheese Distribution Tip: Coat cheese lightly in flour before adding to prevent sinking and ensure even flavor throughout the biscuit.
- Brush Butter Generously: Apply warm garlic-herb butter immediately after baking for maximum flavor absorption and a restaurant-quality finish.
