Biscuits - Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Biscuits - Cheesy Garlic Biscuits

Post by Chowhound »

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. kosher salt divided
3/4 cup butter, divided
1 cup whole milk
2 cups mild cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon dried parsley

Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare a large baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper. (If you are shredding your own cheese, do that first.) In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup butter. Heat until butter is melted. (About 45 seconds) Set aside to slightly cool. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined. Pour the milk into the melted butter and stir well. Pour the milk and butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, making sure to not over mix. Add shredded cheese and fold in until cheese is evenly distributed. Grab about 1/2 cup of dough with your fingers and drop onto baking sheet. (about the size of a small fist) You can fit 8 large biscuits onto one baking sheet. If you want smaller biscuits, prepare another lined baking sheet and make each biscuit about 1/4 cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until biscuits are just barely golden brown. While biscuits are baking, melt remaining 1/4 cup of butter in small mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until butter is melted. Add 1 teaspoon salt and all parsley and stir. When biscuits are removed from the oven, immediately brush with butter parsley mixture. Serve hot.
