Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk

Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or your choice of herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Extra garlic butter for brushing on top before baking (butter mixed with minced garlic)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This ensures even baking and a perfect crust.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  3. Cut in Cold Butter: Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend it into the dry mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs, creating flakiness in the biscuits.
  4. Add Garlic, Herbs, and Cheese: Fold in the minced garlic, chopped parsley or herbs, and Parmesan cheese if using, to infuse the dough with savory flavor.
  5. Finish with Milk: Gradually pour in the cold milk or buttermilk while stirring until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix to keep biscuits tender.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then cut into squares or rounds. Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with garlic butter for extra flavor and a golden crust.
  7. Baking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the buttery, garlicky aroma fully.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to achieve flaky biscuit layers.
  • Mix dough just until combined to maintain tenderness.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Brush garlic butter generously on top before baking for enhanced taste and color.
  • Fresh herbs are preferred over dried for better flavor.
