Servings: 12 biscuits
Calories: 286kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup salted cold butter cubed
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheedar cheese
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 10 inch cast-iron skillet.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the cubed butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal. Mix the cheddar cheese into the crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. Mix the buttermilk into the dry ingredients gradually, using a fork. Mix until just fully moistened.
  • Use a 4 ounce ice cream scoop to divide the dough, placing the biscuits side by side in the skillet.
  • Mix together the melted butter, parsley, and garlic salt. Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits, reserving some of the herbed butter for the tops at the end of baking.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden. Broil at the end of baking to brown the tops further, if desired.
  • Brush with the reserved herbed butter and serve.

Notes

Leftovers
  • Leftovers: Store them at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to five days.
  • Freezer: Cheddar garlic biscuits also work great to freeze. Store them in a freezer bag or airtight container once they’re fully cooled for up to three months. Thaw before serving or reheating.
