Garlic Cheddar Biscuits: A Simple, Savory Delight

2. Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt. This step ensures that all the ingredients are evenly distributed, which is crucial for the texture and flavor of the biscuits.

3. Add the Butter, Milk, and Cheese
Next, it’s time to add the wet ingredients. First, grate the frozen butter using a box grater or a fine grater. The frozen butter shreds will create small pockets of butter in the dough, which will melt during baking to create a light, flaky texture. Add the grated butter to the dry ingredients.

Pour in the whole milk and shredded cheddar cheese. The milk helps bring the dough together, while the cheese adds flavor and moisture. Use a whisk to combine everything gently. The dough should come together fairly quickly, but it will be slightly sticky.

4. Scoop the Biscuit Dough
Now that your dough is ready, use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon to drop heaping portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. The dough should be heaped rather than smoothed out, which helps create that classic drop biscuit look with a rough, uneven surface. Space the biscuits about 2 inches apart to allow room for expansion during baking.
