Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (divided)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for topping)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Notes
- Do not overmix dough—drop biscuits should be rustic and tender.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the butter topping.
- Biscuits can be frozen after baking; reheat in the oven for best texture.
- Whole wheat flour can be substituted for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
- Serve warm for the best experience—these biscuits are at their peak fresh from the oven.
