These fluffy, cheesy, buttery biscuits are just like the ones you get at that ubiquitous seafood chain. What’s it called again? Blue Crab? Yellow Crayfish? You know the one I’m talking about. And, they go well with just about anything, not just seafood.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp. White Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
- 1 tbsp. Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Butter or Margarine, melted
- 1-1/2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 4 tbsp. Butter or Margarine
- 1 tbsp. Dried Parsley
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 440 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl*, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter or margarine and milk, and mix until almost combined.
- Add cheddar cheese, and mix until all ingredients are just combined.
- Use a large tablespoon to spoon batter onto prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit. (This should make about 12 biscuits.)
- Bake in preheated oven for 12 – 15 minutes, until they begin to brown.
- While biscuits are baking, melt 4 tbsp. butter or margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- When melted, add dried parsley and garlic powder and mix until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When baking is complete, remove biscuits from oven and transfer biscuits to a baking rack.
- Brush biscuits with melted butter mixture and serve immediately.
*I’m usually a big fan of using a stand mixer for just about everything, but do NOT use one for this recipe. The secret to good texture in a biscuit is keeping the mixing to a minimum.
