Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Add the cooled melted butter and milk and mix with a fork lightly.
    ⅓ cup butter, 1 cup milk
  • Add the shredded cheese to the lumpy mixture, stirring just to incorporate everything. Don't overmix.
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Drop the biscuit dough by heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared rimmed baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • While biscuits are baking, combine melted butter, parsley and garlic powder. Brush the garlic butter on the biscuits as soon as they are removed from the oven.
    ¼ cup butter, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Remove from pan and serve while hot.

Notes

  • Use any shredded cheese you like.
  • You can omit the cheese, garlic powder, and parsley for plain drop biscuits.
  • Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough biscuits. Stir just until combined.
  • A hot oven helps the biscuits rise quickly and become fluffy.
