Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (very cold and cubed)
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (freshly grated)
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Herbs (minced, such as chives, rosemary, thyme)
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk (chilled)
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter (for brushing the tops)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and work it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and minced herbs until evenly coated.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in the cold buttermilk, stirring until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle, folding it over itself three or four times.
  7. Pat the dough down to about one inch thickness and use a circular biscuit cutter to stamp out the biscuits.
  8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Brush the warm biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with extra herbs.

Notes

Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Keep everything cold to achieve flaky layers. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
