🧀 CHEDDAR GARLIC HERB BISCUITS

Ingredients

⭐ Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
    (or use 1–2 tsp of any mixed herb blend you like)

⭐ Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 115 g) cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup cold milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (if you’re using regular milk to make “fake” buttermilk)

Garlic Herb Butter (for brushing)

  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or ½ tsp dried
  • Pinch of thyme or oregano (optional)

Instructions

🔹 1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

🔹 2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, combine:

  • flour
  • baking powder
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • salt
  • dried herbs

Stir well.

🔹 3. Add the Butter

Add the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to break it into small pieces until it looks like coarse crumbs.

🔹 4. Add Cheese & Milk

Stir in the shredded cheddar.
Pour in the milk (or buttermilk) and mix JUST until combined.
➡️ Don’t overmix — this keeps the biscuits soft and flaky.

🔹 5. Scoop the Dough

Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2–3 tablespoons each) onto the baking sheet.
You should get 10–12 biscuits.

🔹 6. Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden on top.

🔹 7. Make the Garlic Herb Butter

In a small bowl, mix:

  • melted butter
  • garlic powder
  • parsley
  • herbs

🔹 8. Brush & Serve

Brush the hot biscuits generously with the garlic herb butter.
Serve warm!

  • Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.

  • Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor.
