Introduction

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt (or Cooking with Greens Go To Blend)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or Cooking with Greens Garlic Black Pepper Blend)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup cold milk (plus more if needed)

For the Garlic Butter Topping

• 3 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or Cooking with Greens Garlic Black Pepper Blend)
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt (or Go To Blend), and garlic powder.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in cheddar cheese. Add milk and mix just until a soft dough forms (do not overmix).
5. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
7. While biscuits bake, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley for the topping.
