Garlic Cheese Drop Biscuits

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F (230C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Melt your butter and set it aside so it can begin to cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.

Step 4

In a separate bowl (or in a large measuring cup) whisk slightly cooled butter into buttermilk (it’s OK if the butter begins to re-solidify or the mixture looks curdled).

Step 5

Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir until just-combined.

Step 6

Use a spoon or spatula to gently stir cheese into batter until incorporated.

Step 7

Using a pair of spoons, drop batter by heaping spoonfuls (about 3 Tbsp in size) onto prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2” apart.

Step 8

Transfer to 450F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.

Step 9

Meanwhile, prepare topping by whisking together butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

Step 10

When biscuits are finished baking, brush generously with butter mixture (use a pastry brush, or if you don’t have one simply spoon some of the butter on top of each biscuit).

Step 11

Serve warm.
