If making the biscuit mix in a jar for gifting, add the dry ingredients to a pint jar. Make a card with the recipe instructions. Add the butter cheese and whole milk to the dry ingredients and bake. Top with the buttery topping.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
1/2 Cup Butter
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
1 Cup Whole Milk
Shape the biscuits: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop about 1/4 cup of dough onto the prepared baking sheet for each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Prepare the topping: While the biscuits are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl. Stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley.
1/4 Cup Butter, ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley, ½ Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter topping.
