Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 cup whole milk (cold)
- 1.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Toss the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and sliced green onions into the dry ingredients to coat evenly.
- In a measuring cup, stir together the melted unsalted butter and cold whole milk until small butter clumps form, then pour into the flour mixture.
- Fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until a soft, shaggy dough forms without overworking.
- Drop 10 equal mounds of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the biscuit bottoms and tops are lightly golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
Makes 10 biscuits (2 per serving). Reheat chilled biscuits in a 350°F toaster oven or oven for 4-5 minutes to restore their tender, crisp crumb.
