Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a little kick)

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

¾ cup milk

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (plus more for garnish)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

¼ teaspoon garlic powder (for the topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.

Pour in the milk gradually, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky.

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the topping by melting 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and mixing in ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.

Once the biscuits are done, brush the melted garlic butter on top and sprinkle with additional chopped chives and cheese if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
