Garlic Cheddar Biscuits (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Cheese

06 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 3/4 cup whole milk
08 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
03 - Fold the freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese into the dry mixture evenly.
04 - Pour in the whole milk and 3 tablespoons of melted butter, stirring gently until just combined; do not overmix.
05 - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
06 - Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining melted butter for a rich, golden finish.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally alongside soups or stews.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best texture, fluff and spoon flour into measuring cup rather than scooping directly to avoid dense biscuits.
02 - Freshly grate cheddar cheese to prevent anti-caking agents from affecting melt and texture.
03 - Optional: Stuff small cubes of cheese inside dough portions before baking for a melty center.
04 - Use dried or fresh herbs like parsley, chives, thyme, or rosemary to add flavor variations.
05 - Biscuits can be air fried at 325°F for 10-12 minutes; line basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
