Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (375g) self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, cold
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes, dried
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 13×9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut the butter into the flour until pea-sized pieces remain.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, pat it out again, and repeat once more to create layers.
- Cut out circles using a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
- Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
- While biscuits bake, mix the melted 1/4 cup butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and parsley flakes.
- Immediately upon removing biscuits from the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Keep all ingredients cold until baking to ensure fluffy biscuits. Do not overmix the dough. If you don’t have self-rising flour, use all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt per cup. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the fridge.
