Yields 12 biscuits

  • (2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • (1 tablespoon) baking powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1/2 teaspoons) black pepper
  • (1/2 teaspoons) garlic powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) dried thyme
  • (1/2 teaspoons) dried rosemary
  • (1/2 cups) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • (1 cup) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • (3/4 cups) whole milk
  • (1 tablespoon) fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt, 2/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2/4 teaspoon dried thyme.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 cup chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Pour in 3/4 cup whole milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it holds together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick round.

  7. 7

    Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  8. 8

    Gather any scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut out additional biscuits until all dough is used.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

  10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
