- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cream of tartar

- 12 Tbsps unsalted butter cold (1 ½ sticks)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk
herb butter topping-
- 4 Tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ Tbsp dried crushed parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large 21”x15” baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cube butter and place in the freezer while you prep and measure remaining ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine sifted flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, baking powder and cream of tartar.
- Mix in the butter with the flour ingredients until crumbly. Don't overbeat.
- Add in the shredded cheese and combine.
- Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and mix just until incorporated.
- Lightly dust the workspace with flour and add the batter to the floured surface. Shape into a rectangle then fold one side into the center and repeat with the other side.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about a 5”x10” rectangle. With a biscuit mold, make 10 biscuits and then with the extra dough, create the last 2 biscuits.
- Carefully transfer biscuits to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
- Combine the butter, garlic and parsley for the herb butter and melt in a saucepan or microwave.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted herb butter. Enjoy!
