Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp dried parsley

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by mixing the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Brush the hot biscuits with the garlic butter topping as soon as they come out of the oven. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra cheesy biscuits, add an additional 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
You can use a mixture of different cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a unique flavor.
These biscuits are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
