Ingredients
  

Garlic Herb Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, chives, dill (if using), salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Pour in the milk and stir just until no dry flour remains. The dough should be thick, sticky, and scoopable. Avoid overmixing.
  • Using a large cookie scoop or a ¼-cup measuring cup, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the biscuits are cooked through.
  • While still hot, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Brush generously over each biscuit before serving.

Jar Mix Option

  • Combine the following in a quart jar:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Attach these directions:

  • Add ½ cup cold butter, 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup milk. Stir just until combined. Drop onto a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes. Brush with garlic herb butter while warm.

Notes

Butter must be cold — grate frozen on a box grater for easiest method. Shred cheese fresh from a block — pre-shredded won't melt properly. Stir until no dry flour remains and STOP — do not overmix. Dough should look thick and rough, not smooth. Brush garlic herb butter on immediately out of the oven while still hot. Jar mix: combine all dry ingredients, store 6 months. Freeze baked biscuits up to 2 months; reheat at 325°F 10-12 min from frozen.
