| Serves: 6-8 biscuits INGREDIENTS | |
| 2 cups | unbleached all-purpose flour |
| 1TBSP | baking powder |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| ¼ tsp | garlic powder |
| ¼ tsp | paprika |
| cayenne pepper, alternative | |
| ⅛ tsp turmeric [optional] ½ tsp sugar [optional] | |
| ¼ cup | cold, unsalted butter |
| 1 cup | cold lowfat buttermilk |
| 1 cup | cheddar cheese, coarsely grated |
| 2 TBSP | melted butter |
| ½ tsp | garlic powder |
a teeny dash of salt [optional]
⅛-1/4 tsp dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley to garnish
For extra-golden biscuits, I love adding a pinch or two of turmeric to this recipe. It's optional but really amps up the color, plus it's a healthy and all-natural mix-in!
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, and sugar.
Cut cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or simply chop butter into tiny cubes with a knife and mash into the flour with a fork. Alternatively, you can do what I do and use a box grater to coarsely grate the cold butter into the flour. It's easy and saves me time and $$!
Next add your cheese to the milk bowl and slowly pour into the flour mixture while gently mixing with a fork.
Once all the milk has been added the dough will be a bit dry.
Begin to knead a few times to evenly distribute the moisture and, if still seriously dry after kneading, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of milk to the bowl. I typically knead my dough for about 8-10 strokes and stop manhandling it. Over kneading will toughen the dough.
Roll out [with your hands or a rolling pin] your dough onto a lightly floured surface and flatten until about 1 inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out approximately 6 or 7 biscuits from the dough.
Lay each tasty biscuit flat, spaced, on an ungreased non-stick baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes at 425F. Mine are almost always done around the 12-13 min mark when the edges just barely turn golden.
While biscuits bake, combine melted butter with garlic powder, salt, and parsley. Brush over hot-from-the-oven biscuits and enjoy!
