cheesy drop biscuits

Nothing beats warm, fluffy cheesy drop biscuits when you want a quick, comforting side that requires zero rolling or cutting.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded (fresh shredding gives the best melt!)
• 1 cup cold whole milk
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Toss in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is well coated by the flour mixture.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the cold milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon just until combined. Do not overmix, or the biscuits will lose their tender texture. The dough will be thick and sticky.
4. Drop the Dough: Scoop up portions of the dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
5. Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
6. Serve: For extra flavor, brush the tops with a little extra melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic salt right as they come out of the oven.

Pro Tip: These go wonderfully alongside a warm bowl of soup, chili, or stew.
