Cheddar Cheese Biscuits Recipe: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 12

Prep time:15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 

  2 cups All Purpose Flour

• 

  3 teaspoons Baking Powder

• 

  1/8 teaspoon Salt

• 

  1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

• 

  1/3 cup Butter, cold cut into chunks

• 

  2 tablespoons Canola Oil ( or any flavourless, odourless veg oil)

• 

  1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese

• 

  1/2 cup Whole Milk

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In Large Bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder. Add the cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut butter into flour until it is coarse, pea-sized (doesn't need to be fine.)


Step 2:

Add oil, grated cheese and milk. Stir until well combined and holds together. Make sure to keep adding milk a bit at a time, just until the dough is moistened and you can no longer see any raw flour.

Step 3:

Drop approximately 1/4 cup portions of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes in preheated oven at 400 degrees. While biscuits are baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes.

Step 4:

When biscuits come out of the oven, use a brush to spread the garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Do this a few times - it's fun to watch all the butter getting absorbed into the biscuit! Use up all of the butter. Serve warm!
