Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted garlic butter, divided (reserve 1 tablespoon for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425℉ (218℃) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the self-rising flour and shredded cheddar cheese using a fork until evenly combined, creating the base for the biscuit dough.
- Mix Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: In a small bowl, quickly whisk together the buttermilk and most of the melted garlic butter, keeping 1 tablespoon reserved for later. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and mix until just incorporated. Use your hands to knead the dough gently until it forms a cohesive mass.
- Shape Biscuits: Shape the dough into a thick round disc, then divide it evenly into 10 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball with your hands and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of each biscuit with the reserved garlic butter to enhance flavor and browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly shredded cheddar cheese rather than pre-shredded to prevent moisture and clumping.
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt.
- Serve warm with additional garlic butter or your preferred spread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
