Servings: 10 biscuits
Calories: 283kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cup +2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper*
- 1/8 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk**
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
For the Topping
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika and salt.
- In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the buttermilk and butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms, then fold in cheese (taking care not to over mix or you'll end up with tough biscuits).
- Using a large cookie scoop (#20 or approximately 3.5 tbsp.), scoop the batter and place onto the prepared baking sheet (you can pat them just a little bit to slightly flatten the tops so that the little peaks don't brown). Place into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, to make the topping, melt the butter in a small bowl then add the garlic powder and salt. When the butter is warm to the touch, add in the parsley. Mix together and brush over the tops of the biscuits. Allow the butter to absorb before serving, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes
*Don't be afraid of the cayenne pepper. It doesn't add any noticeable heat to the biscuits, just flavor... I promise!
**You need real buttermilk for this recipe. Please do not substitute it for a homemade version.
-If you decide to omit the topping, make sure to add a little chopped parsley to the biscuit dough!
