Expert Tips for Cheese Garlic Biscuits

– Cheese garlic biscuits go with so many dishes. These savory biscuits make a great side with everything from hearty soups to roasts, or as a tasty afternoon snack.

– Don't have any dried parsley on hand? Use oregano or basil instead.

– Be sure not to overmix the batter. If you do, you'll wind up with harder, denser biscuits.

– Cheese garlic biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days at room temperature. They'll keep in the fridge for about one week.

How to Make Cheese Garlic Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.

Whisk melted butter and buttermilk in a separate bowl, then stir into flour mixture until just combined.

Fold in the cheese until combined.

Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits begin to turn golden brown.

In a small bowl, beat butter, garlic powder, and parsley together.

Remove the biscuits from the oven and generously spread each with garlic butter.
