Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold milk and melted butter. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Use a cookie scoop or large spoon to drop equal-sized mounds of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a light golden color on the bottom.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by melting an additional 2 tablespoons of butter and mixing in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Immediately after removing the biscuits from the oven, brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy these delicious, cheesy garlic biscuits as a side dish or appetizer.
Tips
- • Use cold milk for the fluffiest, most tender biscuits • Don't overmix the dough – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep biscuits light • Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 450°F for the perfect golden-brown exterior • Use fresh, high-quality shredded cheddar cheese for maximum flavor • Brush the garlic butter on immediately after baking for that signature restaurant-style finish • For extra richness, use buttermilk instead of regular milk • Space biscuits about 2 inches apart to allow proper rising and even baking • Serve warm for the absolute best taste and texture
