Garlic cheddar biscuits are a delicious and savory treat that pair perfectly with soups, salads, or as a side dish to your favorite main course. Here’s a simple recipe to make garlic cheddar biscuits at home:
Ingredients:
- – 2 cups all-purpose flour
- – 2 teaspoons baking powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- – 1/2 teaspoon salt
- – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- – 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- – 2 cloves garlic, minced
- – 3/4 cup buttermilk
- – 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- – 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- – 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and minced garlic until evenly distributed.
5. Gradually add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll or pat the dough to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
7. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the garlic butter mixture.
9. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
11. Garnish the garlic cheddar biscuits with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
12. Serve the biscuits warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
These garlic cheddar biscuits are best served warm and fresh from the oven. They are packed with flavor from the garlic, cheddar cheese, and butter, making them a tasty addition to any meal. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite soup or salad for a comforting and satisfying treat!
