Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
- 8 tbsps (113 g) cold, unsalted butter
- 2 tbsps (28 g) melted butter
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsps freshly minced Italian parsley
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Set oven to 400°F and arrange parchment-lined baking sheets for precise biscuit placement.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and herbs in a large mixing bowl until completely integrated.
- Butter Incorporation: Cut cold butter into minuscule cubes and blend into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter, creating a texture resembling coarse cornmeal.
- Cheese and Moisture Integration: Fold shredded cheddar cheese into the crumbly mixture, then gently stir in buttermilk until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
- Biscuit Shaping: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them to allow proper expansion and golden browning.
- Baking Transformation: Bake for 13-15 minutes until biscuits emerge golden and puffed, displaying a delectable rustic appearance.
- Finishing Touch: Brush freshly baked biscuits with melted butter, enhancing their rich flavor and creating a glistening surface, then serve immediately while warm and irresistible.
Notes
- Butter Precision: Cut butter into tiny, uniform cubes while cold to ensure perfect flaky texture and even distribution throughout the dough.
- Mixing Technique: Handle dough minimally when combining ingredients to prevent tough, dense biscuits; gentle folding maintains a tender crumb.
- Cheese Distribution: Fold cheddar cheese evenly to guarantee consistent flavor in every bite without creating dense cheese pockets.
- Butter Finish: Brush warm biscuits immediately with melted butter right after baking to enhance flavor and create a glossy, appetizing surface.
