Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, for topping
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Pour in the milk and gently stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
6. Scoop the dough into 12 mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden.
8. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
9. Brush the hot biscuits generously with the garlic butter and serve warm.
Notes
Use cold butter for the best fluffy texture and tender biscuit crumb.
Do not overmix the dough; stir only until the ingredients come together.
Brush the biscuits while they are hot so the garlic butter melts into the tops.
