The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make Cheddar Bay Biscuits (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder – the baking powder gives the biscuits a light, fluffy texture.
- Granulated sugar – the sugar just balances the flavors, but does not make the biscuits sweet.
- Garlic powder – the garlic is so important to this recipe! We used a good organic garlic powder that has great flavor.
- Salt
- Cayenne pepper – this is optional but adds a nice hint of flavor. It does not make the biscuits spicy.
- Paprika
- Buttermilk – if you don’t have buttermilk, regular milk will work. Buttermilk is thicker, so if you use regular milk you may need to add a little extra flour if the batter is too thin.
- Butter – we used regular salted butter.
- Cheddar cheese – the cheese is super important in this recipe! We like to use a sharp cheddar for the best cheese flavor, but any cheddar you like will work well.
- Fresh parsley – you’ll use the parsley in the garlic butter glaze after the biscuits are baked. It’s okay to skip this ingredient if you don’t have any fresh parsley on hand.
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together until a soft dough forms.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, but do not overmix or the biscuits will be tough.
Scoop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form individual drop biscuits. Bake at 450F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic powder. Brush over top of the biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven.
