Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Butter

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Garlic and Herbs

  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, or thyme), chopped

Liquid

  • 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan)
  • Extra melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure and assemble all ingredients. Mince the garlic finely and chop fresh herbs. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly blended to create the dry base for your dough.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This is key for creating flaky biscuit layers.
  4. Add Garlic, Herbs, and Liquid: Mix in the minced garlic and chopped herbs. Pour in milk or buttermilk and stir gently until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light.
  5. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to about 1-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass. Place biscuits on a baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold for a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Freshly minced garlic provides the best flavor.
  • Brush biscuits with extra melted butter before and after baking for shine and enhanced taste.
  • Using buttermilk tenderizes biscuits and adds a subtle tang.
  • Chilling dough for 30 minutes can improve flakiness and ease of handling.
