These Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits are a quick and delicious addition to any meal. With a golden crust and cheesy, garlicky flavor, they are sure to be a hit.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Whisk the dry ingredients together to evenly distribute the baking powder.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry mixture and toss to coat.
Coating the cheese in the flour mixture helps it distribute evenly in the dough.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Work quickly to keep the butter cold for flakier biscuits.
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, drop portions of dough onto a greased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
For uniform biscuits, use a scoop to measure the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Check the biscuits towards the end of baking to prevent overbrowning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
Serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
