Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 4 Tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Add the Bisquick baking mix and cold butter to a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut the butter into the Bisquick until it is evenly distributed. Small pieces of butter should still be visible throughout the mixture.
  • Add the shredded cheddar cheese, sugar, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Gently mix just until the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  • Drop the biscuit dough by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, making 12 biscuits.
  • Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the tops and edges of the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
  • While the biscuits bake, combine the melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
  • Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep the butter cold. Cold butter helps give the biscuits a tender texture.
  • Don't overmix. Stir the dough only until everything comes together. Overmixing can result in tougher biscuits.
  • Freshly shredded cheddar works especially well. It melts easily and distributes nicely throughout the biscuits, although pre-shredded cheese can also be used.
  • Make similar-sized biscuits. This helps them bake evenly and finish at approximately the same time.
  • Serve them warm. These biscuits are at their best fresh from the oven with that garlic butter brushed over the top.
  • Storage: Store completely cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze cooled biscuits in an airtight freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw and warm before serving.
  • Reheating: Warm leftover biscuits briefly in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave. Brush with a little additional melted garlic butter, if desired.
