Cheddar Biscuits Recipe – Fluffy, Buttery, and Packed with Cheesy Flavor
Few baked goods can compete with the comfort of warm cheddar biscuits fresh out of the oven. They’re soft and fluffy on the inside, lightly crisp on the outside, and loaded with rich, savory cheese flavor. Whether served with soup, breakfast eggs, fried chicken, or eaten on their own, they disappear quickly for a reason.
This recipe is designed to be simple, reliable, and beginner-friendly, while still giving bakery-style results at home.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Dry ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional but recommended)
Wet ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Optional topping:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Pinch of parsley or garlic powder
Step-by-Step Method
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and gives the biscuits a slightly crisp bottom.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- garlic powder
This step ensures even rising and flavor distribution.
3. Cut in the cold butter
Add the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break it down until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Small butter pieces are important—they melt in the oven and create flaky, airy layers.
4. Add the cheese
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Sharp cheddar works best because it gives a strong, rich flavor that stands out after baking.
