Homemade Cheddar Biscuits

Print Recipe

Delicious homemade cheddar biscuits that are golden on the outside, soft on the inside, bursting with cheesy flavor and a hint of garlic.

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 thoroughly combined.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the mixture.
  5. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk and the honey. Gently combine until just incorporated; be careful not to overmix.
  6. Knead the dough gently on a floured counter for about 30 seconds. Shape into a rectangle, then fold into thirds. Repeat this folding process three times for added layers.
  7. Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl while the biscuits bake.
  11. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter mixture after baking. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter and buttermilk. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
