Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups aged sharp cheddar shredded
  • 2 cups plain flour all-purpose
  • 1 cup tangy buttermilk
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fluffy baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons roasted garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic-infused powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced parsley
  • ½ teaspoon grated parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). This is crucial for achieving that golden-brown exterior that we all love in a great biscuit.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, roasted garlic powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. This mixture will provide the base flavor for your biscuits.
  3. Once the dry ingredients are well incorporated, fold in the shredded aged cheddar cheese. This will ensure that every biscuit gets a cheesy surprise inside.
  4. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk with the melted unsalted butter. Combine these two ingredients thoroughly. The liquid mixture will bring moisture and flavor to the biscuits.
  5. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay. The texture should be thick and almost sticky.
  6. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop generous portions of the dough onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep some space between each biscuit, as they will expand while baking.
  7. Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. You can start watching them closely after the 15-minute mark.
  8. While the biscuits are baking, melt the remaining butter for the topping. Mix in garlic powder, minced parsley, and grated parmesan cheese. This will add that extra punch of flavor that makes these biscuits unforgettable.
  9. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the melted topping mixture. Serve them warm. Trust me; they won’t last long!

Notes

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Using cold buttermilk and butter helps the biscuits rise better and stay fluffier.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough can lead to dense biscuits. Gently fold until just combined.
  • Fresh Cheese: Using freshly shredded cheese gives better texture and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
  • Experiment with Herbs: Try adding fresh herbs like chives or thyme for a twist.
  • Make Them Ahead: You can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days, baking them fresh when needed.
