Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g (1 ½ cups or 5.3 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- 250 g (2 cups or 8.8 oz) all-purpose flour
- 240 ml (1 cup or 8 fl oz) cold whole milk
- 60 g (¼ cup or 2 oz) cold butter, cubed
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
- ¾ tsp salt
- 60 g (¼ cup or 2 oz) butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Configuration: Position oven rack at center and calibrate temperature precisely to 220°C (425°F) for optimal heat circulation and golden transformation.
- Surface Preparation: Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent adhesion and ensure smooth biscuit release.
- Dry Ingredient Harmonization: Whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, sugar, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a uniform foundation for flavor development.
- Butter Integration: Incorporate cold, cubed butter into flour mixture using pastry cutter or fingertips, breaking down until texture resembles coarse, uneven landscape of crumbs.
- Cheese Infusion: Gently fold shredded cheddar throughout the crumbly base, ensuring comprehensive cheese distribution and flavor consistency.
- Liquid Activation: Pour cold milk into mixture, stirring minimally until ingredients barely coalesce, maintaining a slightly tacky dough that promises luxurious tenderness.
- Dough Portioning and Baking: Scoop dough onto prepared surface, creating rustic mounds, then transfer to preheated oven and bake until edges transform to golden brown and tops develop crisp, appetizing exterior.
- Resting and Serving: Extract from oven, allow momentary settling to maximize flavor complexity, then serve warm for ultimate gustatory experience.
Notes
- Measure Ingredients Precisely: Use standard measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate proportions, which directly impacts the biscuits’ texture and rise.
- Control Butter Temperature: Work with cold butter and handle quickly to create flaky, layered biscuits that maintain a light, airy structure during baking.
- Minimize Mixing Technique: Stir ingredients gently and briefly to prevent gluten development, keeping the dough tender and preventing dense, tough biscuits.
- Customize Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp white cheddar, pepper jack, or blend multiple cheeses for unique flavor profiles that suit personal preferences.
