Delightful homemade cheddar biscuits with a tender, flaky texture and rich cheddar flavor, perfect for brunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and very cold
  • 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons cold buttermilk, divided
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon dried or fresh chopped parsley (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl or food processor. Mix until well combined.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and the honey. Gently combine until just incorporated.
  6. Knead the dough gently for about 30 seconds and shape it into a rectangle, then fold it into thirds. Repeat this folding process three times.
  7. Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a bowl and brush over the baked biscuits.

Notes

Ensure your butter is very cold for flaky biscuits. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
