These cheddar bay biscuits are fluffy, cheesy, and buttery, perfect for Thanksgiving or any occasion. They feature a garlicky herb butter glaze that locks in moisture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup (110 grams) sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter for topping, melted
  • Optional: sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks.
  4. Fold in freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese gently.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky.
  6. Drop 10-12 mounds of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed; tops should be lightly browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. While baking, melt butter and stir in a pinch of garlic powder and a teaspoon of dried parsley to make the garlic herb butter glaze.
  9. Brush warm biscuits generously with the garlic herb butter glaze and sprinkle with sea salt flakes if desired.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

Use cold butter and avoid overmixing the dough to ensure flaky, tender biscuits. Freshly grate cheddar cheese for best melting and flavor. Let dough rest 5 minutes before baking for better texture. Brushing biscuits immediately after baking seals in moisture and flavor.
