Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (for garnish)

How To Make Quick and Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits

1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt. This will ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
3. Cut in the butter: Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be evenly distributed, but small pieces should still remain to help make the biscuits flaky.
4. Add the cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, making sure it’s evenly incorporated into the flour mixture.
5. Add the milk: Pour in the milk and gently stir the mixture until it just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense biscuits. The dough should be slightly sticky.
6. Shape the biscuits: Drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have about 8-10 biscuits, depending on the size.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
8. Brush with butter: As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them with the melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
9. Serve and enjoy: Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy them on their own or alongside your favorite meal.
