Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients for Biscuits

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients for Biscuits

2/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Topping Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh finely minced garlic for stronger flavor)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Set your oven to 425℉ (220℃) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, granulated sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasonings.
Add Wet Ingredients and Cheese: Using a wooden spoon, stir in the whole milk and melted butter until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese carefully to avoid overmixing which can make the biscuits dense.
Shape the Biscuits: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the dough into 8 equal portions and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each to allow room for spreading during baking.
Bake Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the tops are slightly golden and the biscuits have risen nicely.
Prepare Topping: While the biscuits bake, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, dried parsley, and sugar to create a flavorful glaze.
Apply Topping and Serve: Once the biscuits come out of the oven, generously brush the garlic-parsley butter mixture over each biscuit while they are still warm. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth.

Notes

For a stronger garlic flavor, substitute garlic powder in the topping with fresh finely minced garlic.
Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep biscuits light and tender.
If you prefer spicier biscuits, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated briefly in the oven.
Whole milk can be substituted with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and extra tenderness.
