total timeIngredients
2 cups (255g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons salted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup whole buttermilk, chilled, plus more if needed
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the butter: Add the cold butter and mash with a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Stir in the buttermilk and cheese until no dry pockets of flour remain, adding more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed for the dough to come together.
Divide the dough and bake: Drop 12 (1/4-cupfuls) of dough, about 1 1/2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned on top and around the edges, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes.
Make the topping: While biscuits bake, stir together the melted butter, dried parsley, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning in a small bowl until combined. Brush the warm biscuits with the butter mixture and serve warm. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a review below!
