Cheddar Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks butter, cold and chopped
1 3/4 cup whole milk
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 up. butter
1 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
1 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400°. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to combine, starting slow and working your way up to medium speed, until you”™ve formed a dough with pea-sized lumps. Slowly add in milk (keep the mixer on low to avoid splashes).

Fold in garlic powder and cheese. Use a spoon to place 2″ blobs of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

Melt butter in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between, until fully melted. Stir in parsley and garlic powder. Brush mixture on top of each biscuit as soon as they”™re out of the oven and serve immediately.
