- ⅔ cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons freshly minced Italian parsley
Fat and Butter Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons (113 grams) cold, unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) melted butter
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400°F and positioning parchment-lined baking sheets for optimal biscuit placement.
- Transform cold butter into tiny, precise cubes, ensuring uniform integration into the dry mixture.
- Combine flour, leavening agents, seasoning powders, and spices in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry foundation.
- Utilize a pastry blender to meticulously incorporate butter cubes into the flour mixture, developing a texture reminiscent of coarse, grainy pebbles.
- Gently fold shredded cheddar cheese and fragrant parsley into the crumbly mixture, distributing ingredients evenly.
- Introduce buttermilk to the mixture, stirring with a light touch until the dough coheres without excessive manipulation.
- Generously portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, allowing sufficient spacing between each mound to encourage even rising and golden exterior development.
- Position the baking sheets in the preheated oven, allowing the biscuits to transform into golden, puffy delicacies over approximately 13 minutes.
- Immediately after removing from the oven, lavish the warm biscuits with a glossy layer of melted butter, enhancing their rich, aromatic profile.
- Serve the biscuits while still warm, showcasing their irresistible texture and inviting appearance.
Notes
- Prep these biscuits quickly with simple ingredients found in most kitchens, saving time and reducing grocery shopping stress.
- Cold butter is crucial for creating flaky, tender texture that melts in your mouth and gives authentic restaurant-style quality.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough biscuits; stir just until ingredients combine for light, airy results.
- Spacing biscuits 2 inches apart allows proper air circulation, ensuring even golden-brown edges and consistent baking.
- Brush warm biscuits with melted butter immediately after baking to enhance flavor and create a glossy, irresistible finish.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to maintain their original crisp exterior and soft interior.
