Cheddar Bay Biscuits
These buttery, cheesy Cheddar Bay Biscuits come together in under 30 minutes and bring restaurant-style comfort straight to your kitchen — no rolling, no fuss!
Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ¾ cup unsalted butter 1½ sticks, divided
- 1 cup whole milk cold
- 8 oz shredded mild cheddar cheese freshly shredded recommended
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) of butter in the microwave and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and ½ tsp salt.
- Pour in melted butter and cold milk. Stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese with a spoon until evenly distributed.
- Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet. No shaping needed.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- While baking, melt remaining ¼ cup butter and mix with ¼ tsp salt and parsley.
- Brush biscuits with herb butter immediately after baking. Serve warm.
Notes
Use cold milk to keep the butter from melting too soon — it gives fluffier biscuits. Don’t overmix or they’ll turn dense!
