Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Soft, fluffy, and loaded with cheddar, these easy drop biscuits come together in one bowl with no rolling required. Brushed with warm garlic butter right out of the oven!
Ingredients
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour White Lily preferred for lightness
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter cold, grated
- 1 cup milk whole or 2%
- ⅓ cup cheddar cheese shredded, plus extra for topping, optional
Garlic Butter Topping
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley finely chopped (or dried parsley)
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the biscuit dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and granulated sugar.
- Add the cold grated butter and ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients. Toss gently with a fork to coat the butter and cheese in the flour mixture.
- Pour in the cold milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop 9 to 11 equal mounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. (Optional: sprinkle a tiny bit of extra cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit).
- Bake at 425°F for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown and the edges are set.
- For the butter: While the biscuits bake, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Immediately brush the warm garlic butter over the hot biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven, then sprinkle with fresh or dried parsley. Enjoy!
