Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh)

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

• ¾ cup buttermilk (cold)

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Garlic Butter Topping:

• 2 tablespoons melted butter

• 1 garlic clove, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

• Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme.

  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Stir in the cheese and fresh chives, if using.

  5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.

  6. Drop heaping spoonfuls (about ¼ cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

  8. Meanwhile, mix the garlic butter topping ingredients in a small bowl.

  9. Brush the warm biscuits with the garlic butter right out of the oven.

  10. Tips:

      • Don’t overwork the dough—keep it light and fluffy!

      • Use frozen grated butter for extra flaky texture.

      • Swap in your favorite cheese like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack for a kick.

      • Serve these biscuits warm, and watch them vanish! Let me know if you want a gluten-free or sourdough variation too.
