Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and evenly distributed.
- Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
- Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each biscuit.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra milk or melted butter for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- To ensure your Garlic Cheese Biscuits Light turn out light, fluffy, and utterly delicious, follow these expert tips:* Make sure to keep your butter cold, as this will help the biscuits to rise and give them a flaky texture. * Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough biscuits. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients come together in a shaggy mass. * Use a variety of cheese that you love, as this will add an extra layer of flavor to your biscuits. * If you want an extra-golden finish, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra milk or melted butter before baking. * Serve your Garlic Cheese Biscuits Light warm, straight from the oven, for the best flavor and texture.
